Business-minded class in embassy quarter This hotel has 250 guestrooms, all of which are decorated with original paintings and photos by local contemporary artists. Rooms have views of the surrounding embassies, or overlook the glass-roofed lobby. Decorated in satiny creams, taupes, and beiges, rooms have dial-up Internet connections (surcharge). Glass art hangs over bathtubs; separate showers have both handheld and rain showerheads. 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, Aazienki Park was once the royal hunting ground. Thoroughly renovated in recent years to its full historic splendor, the showpiece of the huge Aazienki 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. Warsaw's biggest swimming pool is just one of Club Oasis's many features. Trainers help guests workout on the fitness machines and in the aerobics studio. Steam rooms, dry saunas, and jetted spas de-stress. Spa treatments, massage, and hairdressing are also available. Venti-Tre - A gleaming, stainless steel open kitchen serves fine Italian cuisine at lunch and dinner. Breakfast and Sunday brunch are also available. Scandinavian pale wood chairs upholstered in spearmint green are surrounded by giant chrome fridges, housing the restaurant's impressive wine collection. In summer, street-facing windows are opened and chairs are moved out to a terrace. Q Club - The hotel's cellar nightclub has nightly DJs or live bands. Bamboo floors, graffiti-style holographic murals and a silver bar backlit with jade lights make this one of Warsaw's coolest places to drink
