InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG
Spotless room and stunning hotel. Service was 100%. We used room service which was very prompt and housekeeping were quick to help with anything. Reception was extremely helpful and the spa staff very accomodating. Jorj restaurant service 11/10 but for the price food could step up a level
