“Athénée Palace's Bucharest landmark”
InterContinental Hotels Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG is a dreamy Bucharest landmark — a luxurious lobby and restaurants, an unbeatable city-center spot opposite the Athenaeum and near the theatre and palace, spacious clean rooms, a varied tasty breakfast buffet, a pool with jacuzzi and sauna, high-level restaurant and bar, and kind staff available for requests (though one guest judged efficiency merely European standard). The note: the hotel shows its age — gold on the outside — but remains among Bucharest's best choices.
