Reviews

“They have one of the best locations in the city: right on Victory Avenue (the oldest of the city) and close to the old city center (Lipscani area). Services are great and staff attitude is even greater. They make everything possible to obtain the happiness of their guests. My sincere congratulations !”

“Great outdoor swimming pool
If you are looking for a luxury hotel in the heart of Bucharest with a really beautiful outdoor swimming pool for the hot summer days this is definitely the place to come. The services are impeccable, the ambiance very relaxing, with real lemon trees, restaurant and bar by the pool. The Jacuzzi is open also during cold months when you can enjoy the indoor pool. Another attraction is the Ice Bar in the lobby. Rooms are very nice too. Room Tip: Within same building there is a wing where you can rent rooms for long term with important discounts.”

Review

“Due to unexpected events we had to change the booking, then delay the visit. The staff was extremely professional and bore with us. When we finally reached there we had the pleasure to rediscover the same great cuisine – surprisingly presented – in an old beautifully restored mansion on Victory Avenue. Not for nothing some say this is one of the 2 restaurants in Romania which are the closest to Michelin star restaurants !”

See Romanian Athenaeum‘s spectacular fresco hidden by communists for 20 years. Or even better, listen George Enescu’s Philharmonic Orchestra playing along worlds’ greatest orchestras and soloists. It happens every odd year in September, during George Enescu Music Festival. French architect Albert Galleron created this architectonic jewel in 1888. He built it on the foundation of a riding school, where from the round shape form. Blending Greek, Baroque and Neoclassical styles, the magnificent concert hall has an impressive Carrara stucco marble interior.

At sunset check one of the most refined sky bars: Linea / Closer to the moon Bar, Nomad Sky Bar or Aria TNB.

Party all night long (or almost) at the best beer pub with concerts: Beraria H. This is the largest beer-restaurant in the South East of Europe.

Spend the night within a historical hotel built in traditional French style: Grand Hotel Continental. Prince Napoleon – cousin of Napoleon III – stayed here during a diplomatic visit to Carol I of Hohenzollern. The renowned French merchant Jobin who marked incredibly powerfully those times’ fashion world was also a guest. Even today, Romanians call the top hat brought by him from France, joben. Russo-Turkish war ended after the defeat of Ottoman troops at Plevna in 1877. Before his deportation to Russia, Osman Pasha, hostage within apartment 104, has watched the victory march. When Prince Carol I’s troops were passing along Mogosoaia Bridge, Osman Pasha saluted Carol I from his apartment’s window. That march changed the name of Bucharest’s oldest and most important and beautiful boulevard – Mogosoaia Bridge – into Victory Avenue. Taking a tour here you will have a pretty good idea about the history of Romania’s capital.

Saturday

Leisure morning.

Lunch at Mesogios Seafood Primaverii Restaurant.

Review

“Fish, glorious fish ! Slightly off the beaten track, Mesogios lies within a very fine restored old building. The waiter escorts you to the magnificent display of fresh fish from the entrance hall. There, he discusses with you the choice of different fish and preparation ways to suit your taste. The very fresh well prepared fish food was truly excellent. The wine list presented an interesting selection of some very good bottles of well priced Romanian wine. It was a real treat to find such a good fish restaurant in Bucharest. If you are a fish lover, this restaurant is highly recommended !”

In the afternoon, explore the city at your own pace. Here is a tip: make sure you stop also at Leonidas Chocolates Cafe Piata Constitutiei. They have great, friendly professional staff, varied assortment of good quality chocolates, attention to details and cozy atmosphere.

Dinner at the best French restaurant in Bucharest, L’Atelier Restaurant or at Casa Doina La Sosea  Kiseleff Restaurant. Ion Mincu, the most famous Romanian architect, designed this Patrimony Monument as a pavilion for the Paris Exhibition in 1890. Former preferred restaurant of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, opposite to Russian Embassy.

Sunday

Lunch at Hard Rock Cafe Bucharest. This 1,500 sqm restaurant combines flavorful dishes with an energetic atmosphere to create a truly unique experience.

Review

“We were looking for the best restaurant in the Old City and Aubergine had high ratings. It is a small cozy Mediterranean restaurant with beautiful time patina, excellent healthy food and great service. And now it is the latest addition to our hand picked selection of restaurants. Thank you for helping us making our guests happy !”
