"Now home to the Hilton hotel, the Athénée Palace is the grand dame of Bucharest, holding a particular place in the city’s history." Full review

"Effortlessly meets its five-star rating. Gleaming marble floors and columns give the lavish lobby a Classical feel, while the rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable... A good top-end choice."

"Remains the city’s most opulent and best-serviced hotel, with sumptuous rooms... and first-rate facilities, including sauna, gym and a gorgeous basement pool."
