All-suite downtown Bucharest revelation
Menu
Romania’s capital has outgrown its 20th-century moniker as the “Paris of the East” to become a fashionable destination in its own right. The streets tell a multifaceted tale of old-world glamour, political unrest and modernity lined with cool cafés, art-nouveau architecture, tranquil gardens and vestiges of its communist past.
Discreetly tucked away in the city’s oldest district, close to all major attractions, is the all-suite Epoque Hotel, a French-inspired building with neo-Romanian interior. There are 45 luxurious suites in total, each with a plush king-size bed, living room and study area; some have French balconies or terraces. The largest suites (Epoque, Cismigiu and the two luxury suites) can accommodate four or six people and include kitchenettes.
Come mealtimes, join the discerning dining crowd in Epoque Hotel’s L’Atelier restaurant where Modern Romanian cuisine prepared from the finest local ingredients graces the menu, blending Romanian culinary traditions with the chef’s diverse inspirations and experiences. The restaurant features a modern, elegant design with a 30-seat main area and a sunlit winter garden with an additional 30 seats.
The Epoque Spa also feels decidedly intimate as well as sedative with a heated subterranean pool, traditional hammam, sauna and experience showers complete with colour adjustments and fragrances. There’s also a therapy area offering a menu of pampering treatments such as hot stone massage and skin-softening body wraps.
Epoque Hotel’s unique blend of neoclassical architecture and modern luxury is a unique fusion of style that somehow manages to be refreshingly trendy with a distinct sense of place. Don’t miss the range of private walking tours the concierge can organise on your behalf.
In a recent article, Extraordinary Restaurants Around The World, Editor Laura Kerry highlights the outstanding food served at L’Atelier restaurant.
“The concept of L’Atelier… is modern Romanian cuisine prepared from the finest local ingredients, blending Romanian culinary traditions with the chef’s diverse inspirations and experiences.”
