The Radisson Blu Hotel stands on Calea Victoriei, Bucharest’s historic avenue, between Revolution Square and Piața Victoriei. It is one of the city’s largest full-service hotels and works equally for business travellers and families, with a choice of room types from standard rooms to suites. Its outdoor pool, with a summer pool bar, is a rarity in central Bucharest, and the wellness area adds an indoor pool, sauna and fitness centre for the colder months. Dining is varied: Maison des Arts for international cuisine, Ginger Sushi, Dacia Felix for breakfast and the Aristocool cocktail bar. The Athenaeum, the National Museum of Art and the shops of Calea Victoriei are within a short walk.
Who it suits: families who want a pool and space, travellers who like reliable international comfort, and visitors in summer, when the outdoor pool and bar come into their own.
Trade-offs: it is large and busy with conferences, so it lacks the intimacy of a boutique hotel, and the Old Town is around a twenty-minute walk. Ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper.
