Incredible Staff, Amazing Lounge and Spa
Pros:

Our stay at the InterContinental Bucharest was nothing short of wonderful. The food throughout our stay was absolutely amazing, and the views from the rooms are spectacular!
leadership and the outstanding team. General Manager Emmy Stoel is genuinely the best manager we have seen across all the hotels we have stayed in. She takes the time to personally speak with guests, listens attentively, and deeply cares about both the guests and the overall quality of the hotel. That level of dedication filters down to her entire team.
Ioana, the Front Desk Manager, was phenomenal and went completely above and beyond to make our stay sea
Another major highlight was the Executive Club Lounge, which offers very nice indoor and outdoor seating to relax and unwind. The lounge staff is exceptionally professional, warm, and attentive. A special thank you to Catalin, Florian, and Andrea in the lounge—they know exactly how to take care of their guests and consistently go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect.
The spa manager and staff was amazing! We also thoroughly enjoyed the spa and wellness facilities—the relaxing treatments, indoor pool, Jacuzzi, and saunas made for the ultimate relaxing retreat after exploring the city!
We highly recommend intercontinental Hotel Bucharest!

My first choice in Bucharest
Pros:

I come to Bucharest quite often on business and InterContinental Athenee Palace is always my first choice, if the rooms within my travel limits are available. The hotel is beautifully renovated and has a fantastic location. Staff is very helpful, especially Catalin in Club Lounge, who seems to remember all guests by their name and habits. I truly enjoy espresso at the Cafe Athenee and will definitely be back again soon.

Incredible
Pros:

We had the pleasure of staying at the InterContinental Bucharest in July 2026, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

A special thank you to Florentina and Marian for their warm welcome and outstanding hospitality. The rooms were spotless, modern, beautifully renovated, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a wonderful night's sleep.

Throughout our stay, every member of the team was attentive, friendly, and always willing to help, making us feel truly valued as guests.

The breakfast buffet was generous, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste. We also highly recommend the JORJ restaurant, where we enjoyed an excellent dining experience.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire hotel team for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to coming back and would highly recommend this hotel.

Location and Service!
Pros:

The property is in the historic Revolution Square, in the center of town. The location made it an easy walk to Old Town and most of the places we wanted to experience. The service was attentive from the time we arrived until the time we left. We really enjoyed the breakfast staff, especially Evelyne! She was fabulous. The late-night lounge was a wonderful space to unwind after a full day of sightseeing, complete with jazz music. The room was spacious, with a small terrace overlooking the square. Comfy beds and amenities. Beautifully designed with a dessert cafe. We really enjoyed our stay.

Exceptional story.
Pros:

We have spent three days at the Intercontinental so far, and it is just exceptional. The ambiance, the rooms, the spa, the services, the food,. Everyone is lovely and great and in particular, we are really impressed with the friendliness, professionalism, and customer service of Katalin in the club lounge and Adina at reception, they both made a huge difference to our stay by making it incredible.
