Hotels with the Best Views in Bucharest

A Bucharest landmark since 1866, the Continental occupies a magnificent neo-baroque building on Calea Victoriei that has hosted writers, diplomats, and revolutionaries across three centuries. The recently renovated rooms blend period elegance with contemporary comfort; the grand ballroom and historic staircase remain untouched. There is no more historically resonant hotel address in Romania.

Adjacent to the Palace of Parliament on Ceaușescu's grand socialist boulevard, the JW Marriott is Bucharest's largest and most imposing luxury property — a 402-room grand hotel whose conference and event facilities are unmatched in Romania. The spa, multiple restaurants, and panoramic views of the monumental boulevard make it a landmark in its own right.

Across from the Romanian Athenaeum concert hall — one of Europe's most beautiful — the Hilton Athénée Palace has been Bucharest's social hub since 1914, its elegant marble lobby a stage for the city's political and artistic elite. The historic wing rooms maintain period features; the Brasserie restaurant on the grand terrace is one of Bucharest's finest dining addresses.
