PURO Warsaw Stare Miasto – Nordic Calm in a Rebuilt Capital
A soothing Scandinavian-modern refuge tucked into Warsaw’s UNESCO-listed Old Town.
A Fresh Take on Heritage
Located on Canaletta Street, just steps from the Royal Castle and cobblestone lanes of the Old Town, PURO Warsaw Stare Miasto (Old Town) opened its doors in early 2025. This is the latest outpost from the Polish-grown PURO brand, embedding Scandinavian minimalism and warmth into a historic setting, creating one of the most stunningly designed hotels opening this year.
Quiet Elegance by GamFratesi
Copenhagen design duo GamFratesi transformed the space into a light-filled, residence-like retreat. The reception unfolds across handmade brick flooring, dark-wood cabinetry, and sculptural stone tables. Interconnected lounges, a “tunnel-like” living room with an extra-long sofa, and an interior courtyard create a layered, calming flow.
Rooms & Materials That Ground You
With 192 rooms, the hotel embraces muted wood-and-stone palettes, natural light, and tactile materials. Custom furniture merges with iconic Scandinavian pieces—Louis Poulsen, Gubi, &Tradition, Carl Hansen & Son—while the color scheme echoes Canaletto’s 18th-century Warsaw paintings.
Local Life, Seamless Integration
The open-plan lobby, bakery, and lounge welcome both guests and locals, reinforcing PURO’s community-minded ethos. At street level, MUND bistro blends Scandinavian flavors with Polish sensibility, and a leafy rooftop terrace is planned for year-round city views .
DNA Hotels Verdict
PURO Warsaw Stare Miasto quietly redefines luxury in Warsaw’s historical core. With Scandi calm, material richness, and artful simplicity, it offers respite and style amid the Old Town’s lively surrounds. A fresh, design-savvy choice for both short-term travelers and repeat city explorers.
