Where to stay in Stary Mokotów
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Two metro stations serve the neighbourhood, Racławicka and Pole Mokotowskie, and the mid- and high-rise blocks around them hold most of what Stary Mokotów offers a visitor. The Belweder end is grander. Staying near the Szuster Palace and Park SGGW suits you if quiet and greenery matter, while a room by the SGH Warsaw School of Economics or the Warsaw University of Technology puts the campuses on the doorstep.
Narbutta Street runs through it.

About Stary Mokotów
What are the main landmarks in Stary Mokotów?
Palaces sit beside campuses here. The Szuster Palace, a Gothic Revival residence from 1774, and the Mokotów Tollhouses, two neoclassical pavilions from 1818, carry the earliest dates here, with the Belweder nearby. Monuments crowd the same streets: Frederic Chopin, Taras Shevchenko, Józef Piłsudski at the Belweder, and Achille Ratti.
Museums follow. The Geological Museum of the State Geological Institute and Galeria Remont sit alongside the Saint Andrew Bobola Sanctuary and the Church of the Ascension of the Lord from 1904.
What is the history of Stary Mokotów?
Dated buildings anchor the past here. The Szuster Palace goes back to 1774, the Mokotów Tollhouses to 1818, and the Lutheran Church of the Ascension of the Lord to 1904, three dates that between them cover the neighbourhood's built record. Barracks left a trace too: the dom dowódcy Koszar Keksholmskich survives among the apartment blocks, as does the "Szare Domy" housing estate.
No charter year is given. Muzeum Żołnierzy Wyklętych i Więźniów Politycznych PRL keeps a record of the twentieth century on the same ground.
Where is Stary Mokotów?
Upper Mokotów is the western half of the district that Stary Mokotów belongs to, and the M1 metro line reaches it at Racławicka and Pole Mokotowskie.
