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).
402 rooms (379 singles/doubles 740-790 lei, 23 suites & apartments 1500-5000 lei). Prices include breakfast. VAT not included.

Bucharest Great in every way one can think of except the fact that the wallpaper is falling apart in some of the conference halls and that kitsch is omnipresent here and there. The location is near the Palace of the Parliament and nothing else. The property itself is part of the Grand Plan Ceausescu had (as he had thought it as a luxurious host of his guests).
