1-3 Episcopiei Street, Sector 1, Bucharest, Romania

COMMENTS For a taste of old-world Romanian glitz, this prestigious Hilton property offers more than just the regular 5-star services. As far as multi-national hotels go, they rarely rank amongst the world's most unique or historic, which is where the Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest Hotel breaks the mold. From the massive marble columns in the lobby to the tiffany glass dome in the ballroom, this supposed former KGB headquarters immerses guests in the type of luxury not often associated with Romania. In terms of location, the property is right on Republic Square, next to the Opera House in the city center, from which all things in Bucharest are easy to find either on foot or by bus and tram. Dining on-site happens in several areas, and a pastry in Le Bistrot with views of the Royal Palace is a must.

 LOCATION DESCRIPTION Located in Bucharest City-Centre, this luxury hotel is steps away from Central University Library, Romanian Athenaeum and National Museum of Art of Romania. Cismigiu Garden and National Museum of Romanian History are also within 15 minutes.
