Luxury and zen in the heart of Bucharest. Every detail is well thought of. From the Byredo fragrance in the room and thought the hotel, the beautifully designed and spacious rooms, to the culinary experience at Jorj to the lovely spa, hairartistry and facials. But what I will remember the most is the people. Ioana at reception, Christian and Loredana at Jorj, Dana’s facials, Gianina at the hair salon and our house keeping lady ( on the 5th floor ) balcony rooms who I cannot localize the name. So much care and kindness. Making sure everything was perfect every day.

This is a newly renovated facility with clean and modern rooms and a very customer-focused staff. It is right downtown in Bucharest. The area is dirty, and the infrastructure falls short of the standards expected of an EU capital. We stayed in the same hotel last year. The breakfast was outstanding. This year, I would rate it as good - the offer has decreased significantly. It is on par with a four-star hotel in Western Europe. If you rent a car or drive your own, please be aware that the hotel's parking is three times more expensive than the public parking lots located in the immediate vicinity. We are Expedia Platinum members. We inquired about a free upgrade, but although better rooms were available, the staff at reception were not aware of it. So we didn't get an upgrade.
