The posh Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest isn't just a hotel - it's a piece of Buchurest's history and top hotel. I mean, how many hotels can claim to have been the scene in a spy novel? The Athenee Palace can, in Olivia Manning's "The Balkan Trilogy" about pre-WWII Romania. During the communist years the Athenee was a popular place for... more

We stayed at the Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest as part of our cruise through Eastern Europe. I have to say this property has a certain charm of the old palaces with the elegant lobby and the impressive Diplomate ballroom. The room was large, light and comfortable, breakfast delicious and location great to wonder in the half day we had available.... more

The Athenee Palace is an old hotel taken over in the mid 90’s by the Hilton and brought back to its former glory. From the airport we took bus #783 and we got off at Romana Square, which is a short walk to the hotel. There are plenty of taxis at the airport but we wanted to experience the local... more

Spent 4 nights at this hotel with my wife. Check-in was a little off. Was not directed upstairs to the HH check-in decks. Also check-in was poor because the trainee wasn't able to upgrade me even though in the computer it showed I should have one. Had to wait for her supervisor to come (about 20 minutes) and provide the... more

I have stayed in several five star hotels during my business trips to Bucharest and this is by far the best one. The standard room which I got was fairly large and the view of the square in front of the hotel was great. I got buffet breakfast included in the room price and the selection was vast, food very... more

I just returned from a short business trip to Bucharest and stayed at the Athenee Hilton on the advice of a colleague- I was not disappointed. My standard room was very large with a comfortable bed and was, thankfully, facing away from the main street and therefore very quiet. The fitness centre was top-notch and the pool/sauna was refreshing- especially... more

We thought the location couldn't be beat, and in the 3 days we traversed OTP, I didn't see a hotel where I would have rather stayed. Wireless internet was super expensive though, but that's often the case at EU Hiltons... :( You can buy hourly wireless just to check in at the Radisson across the street, but the Hilton doesn't... more

We started a recent trip around south eastern Europe in Bucharest. While the city itself had been plucked of many of its French-inspired architecture, the Hilton does have a hint of its pre-war past. The hotel itself is very central and within walking distance of pretty much everything (I think we rode the metro once or twice) especially the museums... more

We stayed here only for one night and although we probably would not choose to visit Bucharest again we enjoyed the hotel. We had a lovely big room and although the furniture is a bit older all is there what you need and it is well maintained. Nice touch was the Nespresso machine in the room so we could make... more
