June 2023 - Barceló Hotel Group has announced the opening of Barceló Warsaw Powiśle, a new 4-star avant-garde hotel with 151 rooms, located in the centre of Warsaw, Poland. The hotel is within the former Elektrownia Powiśle power station, which provided energy to the city for almost 100 years and has now been converted into a magnificent shopping centre with more than 70 restaurants and shops. Integrating the power station’s character with its striking industrial design, Barceló Warsaw Powiśle is an exciting addition in this new, up and coming cultural district of Warsaw.

There is a lobby bar, with an extensive menu of drinks and snacks, and an impressive rooftop bar complete with a swimming pool, where guests can sip on delicious cocktail’s whilst enjoying spectacular panoramic views of the city.

Barceló Warsaw Powiśle has a fully equipped gym, as well as several open-plan meeting rooms for holding all types of events, making it an ideal hotel for those guests visiting Warsaw for business and then stay on for pleasure to enjoy the city and the hotel's facilities.

The opening of the Barceló brand hotel marks the completion of the development process for all the buildings in the Elektrownia Powiśle complex. A coherent and functional architectural concept, in which every element has been treated by the architects with respect for its historical value, has made it possible to fully use the potential of this important place on the map of Warsaw. We are very pleased that now, alongside the residents of the capital, tourists will be able to experience the atmosphere of the power plant's industrial space. We can confidently state that Elektrownia Powiśle, together with the Barceló brand hotel, create a Powiśle landmark, which will be talked about not only in Warsaw – says Dariusz Domański, Managing Partner at White Star Real Estate.
