What to expect: Amid the rolling lawns and majestic facades of Warsaw's embassy district, a broad driveway leads to the two-year-old Hyatt's prestigious entrance. Paved in rust and gray slate, the spacious, warmly lit lobby is carpeted in olive green. Business people and government delegates sit in taupe armchairs by glowing lamps, sipping post-work cocktails.

Amenity highlights: With Warsaw's biggest swimming pool, the Hyatt's Club Oasis fitness center is a real draw card. Wicker lounges, blue glass bricks and sleek, solid columns are a clever combination of modern and classical elements and make the club a very pleasant place to spend a few hours. Finnish sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, fitness machines, and an aerobics studio are also included. An award-winning, UK-trained hairdresser - one of the city's most popular - provides beauty treatments.

Insider tip: Across Belwederska from the Hyatt, �azienki Park was once the royal hunting ground. Thoroughly renovated in recent years to its full historic splendor, the showpiece of the huge �azienki is the Palace Upon the Water, home to Poland's last king, deposed in 1792. A giant statue of Warsaw's favorite composer, Chopin, looms over one of the garden's fountains, and in summer a pianist plays among the rose gardens of the Old Orangery.
