Best Luxury Hotels in Sector 5

Occupying a landmark Belle Époque building on one of the city’s most prestigious boulevards, Corinthia Bucharest brings a sense of refined glamour to the Romanian capital. The restoration has been meticulous, balancing the building’s historic soul with the polished sophistication expected from the Corinthia brand. Expect elegant rooms layered with rich textures and marble bathrooms, while the service feels warm and highly personalised rather than formal. There is a softness to the experience here that makes it feel less like a traditional grand hotel and more like an exceptionally luxurious private residence. For travellers wanting classic European luxury with genuine character, this feels like one of Bucharest’s most exciting recent openings.

Set directly across from the imposing Palace of Parliament, the Grand Hotel Bucharest was itself once an administrative building. But step inside and you’ll be met by gleaming marble surfaces, spiral staircases, feature lighting and enormous pillars flanking the lobby area. This hotel is large – there’s a Grand Avenue housing designer boutiques, six restaurants (including US and Italian eateries), 402 bedrooms, a heated indoor pool and one of the biggest spas in the area, all under one roof. In addition to being family-friendly, this JW Marriott property is suitable for pet loving patrons, as guests can bring four-legged friends along for the stay.
