Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set at the corner of Calea Victoriei and Elisabeta Boulevard, the hotel is steps from Old Town wine bars and civic landmarks.
The rooms
Thirty suites pair high ceilings and curved walls with bespoke joinery, poetic Romanian detailing, and freestanding bathtubs in soft marble bathrooms.
The thermal suite
A mosaic hammam sits beneath starry fiber optics, beside a salt-brick sauna and a central ice fountain.
The spa
Two private suites draw on Carpathian Mountain rituals, opening onto a quiet relaxation room with contoured daybeds.
Heritage Bar
Crystal chandeliers illuminate the street-facing cocktail bar, leading to a whisky library and a snug with a working fireplace.
At the table
Boulevard 73 serves French and Romanian dishes in the skylit ballroom. Nearby, SASS' brings Mediterranean plates to leopard-print dining booths.
How it began
When Alexandru Orascu designed the building in 1873, it became the first hotel in Bucharest equipped with electric lighting and an elevator.
