Cream of the Crop - Hotels in Bucharest - In Your Pocket city guide - essential travel guides to cities in Romania

Much spoken of in the past tense (this place has a seriously long and legendary history; a home of intrigues and adventure for more than a century) it is less often referred to in the present. This is a deep shame, as to dwell on the past ignores the fact that this is a great, modern hotel. Luxuriously furnished, the immense rooms offer the latest in gadgetry and perhaps the fluffiest bathrobes in Romania. Ask for a room with a views over Piata Revolutiei for best effect. Fine dining on site courtesy of one excellent restaurant and an exemplary brasserie. [...]

Carol Parc

Luxurious, certainly, but offering something a bit different to the bigger players, the Carol Park is coquette and secluded: you have to know about this place, as you do not find it by chance. A gorgeous place where the finest things are offered to all who pass through its doors, expect only fine, classic furnishings and very personal service. International stars who value discretion above all else tend to stay here when visiting Bucharest. [...]

Crowne Plaza Bucharest

A leafier setting in the north of the city for what might be called a leafier kind of hotel. Set around a large outdoor pool (which is a real delight in summer) the Crowne Plaza offers the usual five-star luxuries and big, comfortable rooms that you would expect from this chain, as well as a few charms all this Bucharest establishment's own. The Sunday Brunch for example (if you are here at the weekend) remains the best in the city and is a real treat. [...]

Grand Hotel Continental

Normal0MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Opened at the end of 2009 this is the latest five star hotel in Bucharest. Making the very best of a wonderful building (which dates from1886) on chic Calea Victoriei, today's Grand Hotel Continental is the result of more than two years of loving renovation and restoration. There's marble at every turn, though do not think that modern touches are missing, for they are not. The audio-visual systems in the rooms for example are state of the art. For the great location and for a change from the big chains, it's well worth trying out. [...]

Howard Johnson Grand Plaza

This is a high-rise hotel in the busy centre of Bucharest, where the sleek, modern exterior is matched by the interiors, all of which carry the signatures of top-name designers. The breakfast is perhaps the best in the city, coming as it does with champagne (for those who enjoy such things in the morning), and the dining opportunities in general are excellent: there is a wonderful Japanese restaurant, Benihana, on site. To really get the bets out of this place though, ask for a room on one of the upper floors, for the views over the city.

InterContinental

Still the tallest hotel in Bucharest (complete with a small swimming pool and – during the summer, sun terrace - on the top floor) the Inter Continental was the first major five star hotel to open in Romania, at the beginning of the 1970s. Today it is one of many but remains something of a first choice for journalists and business people, many of whom have been loyal guests for decades. The rooms here all boast big balconies with great views of the city, there is first class dining in the building, and the management is commendably hands-on. [...]

JW Marriott Bucharest Grand

To the south of Casa Poporului the JW Marriott occupies something of a palatial building that at first glance probably makes it the most immediately impressive of Bucharest's big five star hotels. The scale of the place, and its cavernous interiors, betray the fact that it was built as part of the same grand plan as the Casa Poporului itself. Yet the rooms are homely and well-furnished, providing a welcome contrast to the building. Plenty of good dining options, and home to the biggest swimming pool in the city (we think). [...]

Novotel Bucharest City Centre

Few locations are better than this, right on fashionable Calea Victoriei. The entrance is impressive: a replica of the old neoclassical National Theatre which stood on this exact site until the British bombed it to next week during the Second World War. Shiny and new the main part of the hotel is wonderful: rooms are big, with bathrooms particularly impressive. Excellent, lively lobby bar and a big indoor swimming pool are other added benefits of staying here. [...]

Pullman Bucharest World Trade Center

The spacious, luxurious rooms are the main attraction at this high rise in the north of the city, where the bathrooms boast perhaps the deepest bathtubs in the city. There are separate showers, and all in we think that the square-meterage-per-euro ratio is higher here than anywhere else in Bucharest. A good on-site steak house keeps you well fed, and though there is no pool there is a good fitness centre with sauna and massage available. [...]

Radisson Blu

A gleaming temple of steel and glass amongst the more classical buildings of Calea Victoriei, the Radisson excels in playing the role of futuristic Bucharest hotel of choice. As you walk in the glass bar strikes you as daring and modern, and the rooms themselves are equally avant garde in design. Bathrooms offer both tubs and showers, and there is both an indoor and outdoor pool, so you can swim whatever the weather. Excellent restaurants, especially the sublime Prime Steaks and Seafood.
