InterContinental Hotels Group® (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of Staybridge Suites Warsaw Ursynów – the first Staybridge Suites in Poland and the brand’s eighth property in Europe. 

Due to open in late 2019, the 190 room new build hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with WIK Capital and will be located in Ursynów, Warsaw’s third largest district.

The hotel will benefit from close proximity to Warsaw Airport, which is only a 15 minute drive away, as well as popular tourist destinations including Kabaty Forest, Natolin Palace and the renowned Służewiec horseracing track, making it an ideal choice for business travellers who will be in the city for an extended period of time, or guests seeking a home away from home during their travels. 

Staybridge Suites aims to create a community feel for guests during their stay and the public spaces are commonly used for social events where guests can get to know each other. The hotels feature hallmarks designed to make guests feel comfortable and at home, including separate workspaces with free WiFi throughout the hotel and a 24-hour Business Centre, ensuring guests can take care of business on their own schedule. Other features include a fitness room, laundry room facilities and a 24/7 convenience store.

Miguel Martins, Director, Development Poland, IHG, commented: “We are excited to be bringing Poland’s first Staybridge Suites to Warsaw. As the financial hub of Poland, Warsaw is the perfect location for the brand. Staybridge Suites has more than doubled its presence in the last ten years globally and as Warsaw becomes a tourism and business hub within Eastern Europe, it makes perfect sense to develop Poland’s first Staybridge Suites here.”

Cezary Tur, Business Development Director, WIK Capital, commented: “We are pleased to be opening our first IHG branded property in Warsaw in late 2019. IHG offered us all the qualities we are looking for in a long-term partner and we look forward to working together to make this property a well-loved hotel by business and leisure travellers.”
