Five ranked hotels among Belle Époque and Bauhaus facades
Bucharest has 5 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest leads on prestige score at 5.99 out of 10, followed by Epoque and InterContinental Athenee Palace Bucharest by IHG. Of those, 5 hold MICHELIN Keys.
Bucharest's small ranked collection sits almost entirely within the old commercial core, in buildings that survived the interwar boom, the earthquakes and the demolitions of the 1980s. Five properties appear in this index, all holding MICHELIN Keys with one at two Keys.
InterContinental Athenee Palace Bucharest has occupied its position beside the Romanian Athenaeum and the former royal palace since 1914, when the city was still styling itself on Paris. Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard restored an 1867 building on Calea Victoriei, one of the oldest hotel structures in the city. The Marmorosch reuses the Marmorosch Blank bank headquarters, with the old vault turned to other purposes, Epoque sits in a quiet street near Cismigiu Gardens, and Singureni Manor lies south of the city as an equestrian estate.
