Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Epoque

This graceful 1900-era hotel set on the edge of a lovely park in the center of Bucharest feels far from the city's hustle and bustle. This kind of old-world service in a setting of tranquility and sophistication along with every modern convenience is not easy to come by. Updated rooms are comfortable and spacious—many with sitting rooms and views over the park—with a luxe contemporary decor and large marble bathrooms. The fully equipped hotel spa offers a fitness room, pool, and a choice range of spa treatments. The hotel's gourmet restaurant is one of the best in the city, and its elegant bar and lounge is a great place to spend an evening. There's also a lovely outdoor terrace for relaxing with a meal or a cup of coffee with your newspaper.
