Autor Rooms

In a world of distraction, where bigger is often mistaken for better, comes a wee wonder: a boutique micro-hotel of refined design and authentic craftsmanship that embodies small-scale perfection on a broad city canvas. With just four rooms—each unique and chockablock with the artisanal and eclectic handiwork of Polish artists, architects, designers, curators, and craftsmen—Autor Rooms is far more than just a hotel; it is a key to the creativity that is today’s Warsaw and the first hospitality concept in Poland built entirely from local products in collaboration with local designers and producers. Set on the only street in the Polish city not to be ravaged by WWII, Autor is a home-like nucleus of Old World charm emitting a young and contemporary spirit. Housed in a 20th-century Berlin Modernist-style building just a short walk from the favored nightspots of the in-the-know crowd, the hotel could easily be mistaken for a salon for poets and jazz musicians or the hippest co-working space in the city or perhaps a design studio where the rooms have been dressed up to showcase custom-made glassware and mirrors, hand-dyed woolen bedding, organic cosmetics, avant-garde artwork, and much more. Indeed, should you spot an item you like—a lamp, a chair, a door handle, or more—just tell your hosts and they will connect you with the piece’s creator. At Autor—whether you rent just one room or all four to create your very own private Warsaw escape—authenticity that is small, personal, and perfectly Polish awaits. Culture and social wonders, such as the newly restored market hall “Koszyki”‚ commonly known as the “People’s bazaar”, are a short walk from Autor Rooms. This includes Hala, an old factory that came back to life in 2016 as Warsaw’s culinary center. Here, one can dine at any number of outstanding restaurants and pubs or buy fresh produce. Poznanska Street, about 200 meters from the hotel, is also a favored spot for good food and drinks.
