Located just off Bulevardul Unirii, the City is something of a beacon of glass and steel in an area not known for anything except monumental socialist architecture. The hotel is a decent place offering big-ish rooms, with commendably big bathrooms. Happy, multi-lingual staff are a bonus not always found in Bucharest's hotels. Good cafes (there are two) to choose from on the ground floor: one has a covered terrace.

87 rooms (66 singles/doubles €150-170, 7 suites €185, 14 apartments  €205). Prices include local taxes, VAT and breakfast.
