Warsaw’s Marriott hotel – a symbol of the post-communist transition – closing after 35 years
International news
The news was first revealed on Tuesday by Hotelarz, an industry news website. On Wednesday, Polish media reported that the hotel’s reservation system and telephone numbers were no longer working.
The Gazeta Wyborcza daily says it remains unclear if the hotel is operating at all. Just last week, pop star Taylor Swift stayed there while performing three concerts in Warsaw as part of her Eras Tour. Last year, US President Joe Biden was also a guest during a visit to Poland.
“We confirm that the Warsaw Marriott Hotel is no longer part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio,” Marriott International told Hotelarz. “This decision was made after careful consideration and our current priority is to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible for guests and employees.”
“Managing the Warsaw Marriott Hotel for over 30 years has been a privilege,” they added. “We wish the hotel team much success in continuing to run the facility.”
