Beautiful hotel
Pros:

In February, I traveled to Bucharest, where I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel. Beautifully renovated, in a prime location. A city that is buzzing and developing rapidly. I enjoyed the delicious restaurants and sublime service. The bar is a wonderfully cozy place to have a quick drink, or enjoy the late evenings. The wine is served in very beautiful large glasses, making it taste just that much bit better.

Very detailed hotel, they thought of everything. I would absolutely love to return.
Pros:

Everything! Beautiful hotel and facilities. Amazing staff. Phenomenal breakfast. The ac in our original room wasn’t working properly and after trying to fix it without success, they graciously upgraded our room and moved all of our things.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing. Everything was wonderful.

Impeccable Service and Unmatched Quality
Pros:

It is always a pleasure for me to stay at InterContinental hotels, as I truly appreciate their consistent quality. However, this particular property exceeded my expectations far beyond many others an excellent and beautiful hotel in every sense.

We were warmly welcomed at reception by Radu, whose kindness made a wonderful first impression. Additionally, Daniel at the concierge desk assisted us at all times with exceptional courtesy and professionalism, consistently demonstrating outstanding customer service.

Overall, a remarkable experience that I would highly recommend.

Just perfect!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is amazing. Right next to a beautiful concerthall which you can visit. The hotel is beautifully renovated. In an earlier stay around Christmas time they had the most beautiful Christmas decorations, which fit perfectly with the hotel. The hotel has a few restaurants and a bar as well. This time we had dinner at the Jorj Restaurant which was amazing, the service, the food, the wine pairing. Just perfect! Would definitely recommend.

Be sure to stay at the InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Bucharest with friends, and it was fantastic. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore attractions like the Romanian Athenaeum and the Old Town, all within walking distance.

Our deluxe room had a nice view and was spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and I loved the large bathroom with a soaking tub—it was perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The staff went above and beyond—always friendly and ready to help with anything we needed, which made us feel welcome and well looked after.

We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, which offered a delicious buffet with a mix of local and international dishes. It was the perfect start to our busy days. We also took advantage of the spa services, which were a wonderful escape after all the exploring we did.

Overall, our experience at the Intercontinental was excellent. With great service, comfort, and a prime location, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bucharest. I can't wait to return!
