Where to Stay in Bucharest – Best Neighborhoods and Hotels
Best Place To Stay in Bucharest
If you’re looking for hotel recommendations and tips on where to stay in Bucharest, you have come to the right place. I recently visited Bucharest and spent a little over a week in the Romanian Capital. Here are my tips and recommendations.
Where to Stay in Bucharest – Old Town
Most sights of Bucharest are located in and around the Old Town area, which is very walkable and can be explored by foot. If you are visiting Bucharest for the first time and want to see the main attractions and explore the local nightlife, I highly recommend Bucharest Old Town.
The Bucharest Old Town neighborhood is quite famous for its lively nightlife, so most hotels I recommend are just outside of the actual neighborhood. This will allow you to explore and enjoy the area but also get a good night’s rest and quiet time.
Best Hotels in Bucharest
The Radisson Blu Bucharest was my absolute favorite. I really liked the modern, sleek design, perfect location, and amenities of this 5 Star Hotel in Bucharest.
The pool at the Radisson Blue Bucharest is stunning, almost like a tropical oasis in the middle of the city – including a Tiki Bar and lots of lounge spaces to hang out and enjoy yourself in the sun, read a book, and play in the water. City trips can be quite tiring, but just 1 hour in the pool can make you feel like you were swept away to some lush island, and relaxation is almost instant.
The rooms are modern and elegant, perfect for tourists and business travelers alike. I recommend upgrading to the Business Class Room because it comes with a Nespresso coffee maker and the most scrumptious breakfast buffet. From fresh Omelettes and eggs in any style to fresh fruits and vegetables, delectable cheeses and smoked fish, Balkan-style treats, and flaky pastries, this breakfast buffet at the Radisson was by far the best I had in Romania!

While I only visited this hotel and did not stay here overnight, I can still recommend this 5 Star Hotel in Bucharest. Why? Because I spend a few hours in their incredible spa, this alone makes staying here worthwhile. Located on the 7th floor, the Spa overlooks the whole city. Relax and spoil yourself a little while enjoying the view of the buzzing city below you.
The buffet-style lunch also offers something for every taste and nicely fuels you up for your city adventures.

If you like a sleek and modern design, with some pops of color, the PeakTrue Hotel might be a good choice for you. The location could not be better. Just across the street from a Metro stop and less than 5 minutes from the Old Town, makes this hotel the perfect place to explore the city, enjoy the nightlife, but still get a restful night.

If you want to mix in some rest and relaxation before, during or after exploring Bucharest, the Orhideea Residence & Spa might be a great choice for you. They have a stunning spa, including pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath. Usually, city-trips can be quite exhausting, but if you stay at this hotel, it’s easy to make some time for much-needed R&R.
The hotel is located about halfway between Bucharest Old Town and Lakul Morii, a beautiful lake that you can explore on foot or by boat. The Metro is also close by, so even though you are a bit away from the hustle of the main tourist sights, you can explore a more authentic side of Bucharest and enjoy it at a slower pace.
