Warschau-Chopin

What a début! Our first hotel in the Polish capital has chosen a particularly melodious namesake in Fryderyk Chopin, who was born in Warsaw in 1810. Traces of the composer and his musical legacy can be found all across the city – and they also set the tone for the design of our Motel One.

So before you set off to explore the city – which is full of countless theatres, museums and monuments, as well as hip cafés, boutiques and beach bars along the Vistula to satisfy any trend-setting tourist – take a little tour of our design hotel Motel One Warsaw-Chopin.

In keeping with the location

As the name suggests, our Motel One Warsaw, located opposite the historic Fryderyk Chopin Museum and the Chopin Institute, welcomes you with a music-inspired interior.
Harmonious design

Fryderyk Chopin spent the majority of his life in Warsaw and is commemorated across the city. Our hotel pays homage to the composer, with a high-gloss reception desk reminiscent of a grand piano and a black and white Moroso sofa which might just inspire you to tinkle the ivories. All under the watchful eye of a familiar face...

Melodious murals

Mariusz Libel lives and works in Warsaw and was a member of the street art duo TWOZYWO for many years. For our reception, lounge and rooms, he combined elements of lithographs and musical notes to create large and small-scale pieces that offer a visual representation of Chopin and his native city.
A voyage of discovery

Musical references can be found throughout the interior of the hotel – such as the little side tables by the Italian manufacturer Baxter, individually printed with Chopin’s handwritten notes and scores.

Lighting

Our lighting goes the extra mile, with a custom-made fixture by Cappellini in our lobby made with 50 coloured glass balls and serving as a contrast to the many black and white surfaces. This colour concept is echoed throughout the lounge.

3D effect

The back wall of the bar is divided into different levels, giving it the look of abstract piano keys. It also features black varnished surfaces dancing with golden notes – a truly impressive ensemble!
Reinterpretation

Classical meets modern, with bar stools inspired by 19th-century medallion-back chairs, classic winged leather armchairs and cocktail chairs with a blend of patterns – all set off to perfection by chandeliers by the Dutch designer Quasar, reminiscent of the luxurious concert halls of days gone by. At two metres in diameter, they are the literal highlights of the lounge.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

In our inviting seating corner by the bar, large vintage mirrors give visual depth to the room, while posters for Chopin performances add a modern contrast.
Work-Music-Balance

For the composition of your next masterpiece, our hotel in Warsaw has its own meeting room, with a large workbench to give you plenty of space, Tom Dixon lamps for that light bulb moment, and wallpaper with prints of Chopin’s hand-written scores for the right creative ambience.
