Warszawa Hotel, Malekhiv

Hotel-restaurant Warszawa stands at the 1st kilometre of the Lviv — Rava-Ruska road, in the village of Malekhiv in the Zhovkva district, away from the noise of city life. Good transport links let guests reach the centre of Lviv in 10 minutes. The lobby is elegantly decorated, and the hotel has 42 rooms, each with soft beds, furniture, satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. A separate newlyweds’ room is offered for couples, and the royal apartments are styled after the days of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The complex has a spa centre for health and aesthetic medicine, a sauna, Russian and American billiards and pool. A separate VIP room with a fireplace is meant for informal talks with business partners over a glass of whisky. For children there is a playground on the green terraces near the hotel. For business events there are conference halls for 80, 300 and 350 people; the staff help organise conferences, presentations, business training sessions and exhibitions. The banquet hall is designed for celebrations of up to 400 guests. The grounds hold 10 gazebos for relaxing in the open air. The restaurant serves more than 200 dishes of Mediterranean and national cuisine, based on nineteenth- and twentieth-century recipes: a rack of milk-fed veal with sauteed aubergines, baked or grilled fish from the chef, a salad of cured duck fillet, house-made gelato and the signature Warszawa cake. The wine collection includes wines from Italy, France, Chile, Georgia and Ukraine. On request the complex arranges individual celebrations: room decoration for a birthday or a romantic dinner, a marriage proposal, live music, a saxophonist.
