The Le Regina (to be precise: Mamaison Hotel Le Regina ) is a small 5-star hotel in Warsaw . It opened in 2004 after a historic building was renovated in Warsaw's New Town . It has won several awards and is known for its restaurant.
history
The hotel at ulica Kościelna 12 is located around 40 meters east of the “main street” of the new town, ulica Freta . The distance to the Warsaw Vistula embankment - the “St. Passing through the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary (Polish: Kościół Nawiedzenia NMP ) - is only about 100 meters. The rear of the three-storey hotel adjoins the extensive complex of the Sapieha Palace , which today houses a school for the deaf (Polish: Specjalny Ośrodek Szkolno-Wychowawczy dla Dzieci Słabosłyszących nr 15 in the. Ottona Lipkowskiego ). The neighboring building to the east is the Chodkiewicz Palace .
The history of the building is controversial. The original building is mentioned in sources from 1734 and 1738, the construction date is unknown. According to various sources, it was the residence of a Paweł Mostowski or the officer Kazimierz Mokrowski (or his wife). Depending on the source, it is called the “Mostowski Palace” (Polish: Pałac Mostowskich) or the “Mokrowski Palais” (Polish: Pałac Mokrowskich ). However, it should not be confused with the large Mostowski Palace on ulica Nowolipie 2 . Later the property belonged to the family of the royal chef Zettner, who often held balls here. At the time the palace had two separate courtyards. The next owners were the Przeździecki family, during whose time (in the second half of the 18th century, probably in 1762) the palace was rebuilt and given a large courtyard. Further renovation work subsequently took place, including in 1806 based on a design by Friedrich Albert Lessel . At the beginning of the 20th century the large inner courtyard was rebuilt. As a result of the Second World War , the building was destroyed as part of the bitter fighting of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 and rebuilt from 1951 to 1953 as a replica of the Mostowski / Mokrowski Palace. After the reconstruction, the US Embassy became the building's first tenant. The Orco Group acquired the building in 2000.
In 2004, the conversion into a hotel of the Mamaison Hotels & Residences group was completed. Under the responsible architecture office PRC Architekci , a high-quality 4,600 square meter hotel with 58 individually furnished rooms and three suites was created. Some of the hotel's 25 to 115 square meter rooms are decorated with frescoes. There is a spa (pool, sauna, massage rooms) in the vaulted cellar . The magazine Der Feinschmecker praised the celebrity chef of the restaurant “La Rotisserie”, Paweł Oszczyk.
