List your top dining locations for breakfast, lunch or dinner?
Sam for breakfast, Soto Sushi for lunch and Nolita for dinner.
What are the essential cultural or historical experiences?
I would say the Museum of Warsaw Uprising is an important one. It explains to you a lot about the city, and an important part of its history. Museum of Modern Art, Zacheta and Foksal Gallery for the good overview of the amazing modern Polish art.Where are the best shopping experiences?
There is a bunch of lovely boutiques on Mokotowska street, Galilu Olfafactory with a great selection of beauty products.
How long to stay in Warsaw?
During the summer probably 4-5 days is a good amount.Are there any neighbouring towns or surrounding precincts in Poland we should see?
A trip to nearby Wilanow is always lovely. There is a beautiful, lavish palace from XVII century to visit, and also a Museum of Polish poster. Krakow is a bit further, but a really beautiful and special place, that you can't miss. 
Is there one luxury experience that stands out?
A facial by Mrs Grazynka with Omorovicza cosmetics in Galilu on Aleja Roz.The best bar is...
Bar at the Raffles Hotel.
