InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest by IHG
Room was clean and well appointed. The painting in the room was kind of scary- particularly in the middle of the night. Staff was very helpful, although staff at breakfast seemed like they wanted to be helpful but didn't know how how. Check in/out was smooth.
