About the place
The hotel occupies a massive building on Calea 13 Septembrie, begun in 1986 to plans by the architect Ligia Popp as the 'guest house' of the redevelopment project around the House of the People. It opened as a hotel in 1999 and lies about 900 m in a straight line from the visitor entrance of the Palace of the Parliament.
The building holds several restaurants, among them CUCINA (Italian) and JW Steakhouse, the Grand Casino Bucharest, open around the clock, a World Class club and an indoor pool. It holds 9.1 on Booking from 3,663 reviews and 4.7 on Google from more than 12,000 reviews; guests praise the breakfast, the staff and the short distance to the Parliament, while a few recent reviews complain about the service.
Good to know
- The entrance for Palace of the Parliament tours is on Strada Izvor, on the north side of the palace, not on Calea 13 Septembrie; allow for a walk of more than 1 km.
- The National Cathedral, on the same Calea 13 Septembrie, can only be seen from its grounds in 2026, as the interior is closed for works.
- Parking and breakfast cost extra; check what your rate includes when booking.
