This property is truly at Intercontinental level. Everything is well and thoroughly thought out for your convenience, comfort and delight. The rooms are impeccable, the bedding is perfectly comfortable and clean, the lighting has more options than I thought I would need and now I am spoiled! I want the same options at home. The bathroom is spacious, well furnished and it has a speaker so you don’t miss the news. The breakfast is regal, with so many options that even my picky husband had only good things to say. The staff is pitite, warm and knowledgeable. We will come back! Thank you!!
The banquet room where only the flooring could be replaced. The rest had to be restored.
Stepping outside you are in the heart of Bucharest. We walked a lot!
