Sheraton Grand Warsaw Hotel

The Sheraton Grand Warsaw, commonly known as the Sheraton Hotel in Warsaw, is a five-star establishment located at 2 Bolesława Prusa Street, at the corner of Trzech Krzyży Square. It belongs to the Sheraton hotel chain and the Marriott International group. Before World War II, the site was occupied by the building of an Italian insurance company, which housed the large "Napoleon" cinema, renamed "Apollo" during the occupation. After the war, a small square was dedicated to the memory of Ładysław Buczyński, and between 1994 and 1996, a new hotel was constructed based on a design by Tadeusz Spychała and Piotr Szaroszyk. The building has seven above-ground floors and two underground levels, offering 350 rooms and approximately 100 parking spaces. A commemorative plaque honoring Buczyński is mounted on the façade of the building, with the description of his activities adjusted by changing "fighter of the People's Guard" to "fighter of the Polish resistance movement." The hotel has served as a temporary location for several embassies, including those of Kuwait, Luxembourg, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. In 2019, the hotel underwent a renovation of its interiors, which led to its rebranding as the Sheraton Grand. There are four Sheraton hotels in Poland, and the one in Warsaw stands out for both its modern architecture and rich history, making it an important landmark on the map of the capital.
