Netflix "Lalka" at Polonia Palace: our hostesses in period costume welcomed guests and handed out…
The Polonia Palace hotel in Warsaw hosted an event linked to Netflix’s series “Lalka” (The Doll). Two of our hostesses looked after the guests on behalf of Hotele Warszawskie Syrena.
A historic hotel and a series about old Warsaw
Polonia Palace on Aleje Jerozolimskie has been open since 1913 and is one of the few buildings in central Warsaw that survived the war. It is hard to imagine a better backdrop for a series inspired by Bolesław Prus’s novel, set in 19th-century Warsaw. The six-episode “Lalka”, directed by Paweł Maślona, premiered on Netflix on 16 September 2026. We know the hotel well – in 2013 our hostesses worked at the banquet celebrating its 100th birthday.
Hostesses in period costume
Our hostesses greeted guests at the entrance and directed them to the right places in the hotel. They wore costumes inspired by the era: a white blouse with a jabot, a dark jacket and a long skirt, so they matched the set design and the series’ press wall.
Room keys without a queue
Some guests stayed overnight, so the hostesses also helped hand out room keys. The front desk did not have to serve everyone at once, and guests got to their rooms faster.
Summary
A welcome, guidance and help with the keys: two people were enough to keep everything running smoothly. Our hostess agency is always happy to return to Polonia Palace, and event support with hostesses in Warsaw is part of our everyday work.
