InterContinental Athenee Palace

The five-star InterContinental Athénée Palace occupies a landmark position on Revolution Square, opposite the Romanian Athenaeum and close to the National Museum of Art and historic Calea Victoriei. Dating from 1914, the hotel has played a fascinating role in Bucharest’s history, from its reputation as a meeting place for spies and diplomats during the Second World War to the surveillance associated with Romania’s Communist era. Today, its historic character is combined with contemporary five-star comfort.

Room options

Rooms and suites combine modern design with references to the hotel’s Belle Époque heritage, including hand-finished oak floors. Classic Rooms are the lead-in category and are available with a king or twin beds, while Premium Rooms offer additional space and comfort. Suites range from Junior and One Bedroom Suites to spacious Palace and Royal Suites.

All rooms include air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, minibar, safe, tea and coffee-making facilities, bathrobes and slippers.

Dining

JORJ Restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a contemporary setting with a secluded terrace, while the elegant Café Athénée overlooks the Romanian Athenaeum and offers light meals, pastries and signature desserts throughout the day. The historic English Bar, one of Bucharest’s long-established meeting places, is an atmospheric spot for an evening drink.

Location & Experiences

The hotel is exceptionally well placed for exploring central Bucharest. The Romanian Athenaeum is directly opposite, with Revolution Square, the National Museum of Art and Calea Victoriei immediately nearby. Bucharest’s Old Town is around a 15-minute walk away, making many of the capital’s principal sights easily accessible on foot.

Guests can also relax at the hotel’s spa, which includes an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room, with treatments available to book. A fitness centre is also available.

Why Regent Loves It…

Few Bucharest hotels combine location and history quite like the InterContinental Athénée Palace. Its position beside the Romanian Athenaeum is superb for sightseeing, while its eventful 20th-century past gives the hotel a character that goes well beyond that of a conventional five-star city hotel.
