Staff loyalty in the hotel industry is a rare and admirable quality these days, but Vasile Descultescu and Daniela Ciuca have consistently demonstrated their dedication to the InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest and its owner, George Copos over the years. Their loyalty and commitment stand out as remarkable.
Having known them during my time as a foreign correspondent for The Times newspaper and later as a CEO in Romania, I can personally attest to their loyalty. Vasile emphasizes that they consider themselves part of the hotel’s family rather than just employees.
With their extensive experience at the hotel, Daniela and Vasile warmly welcome guests to the historic 5-star property, going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. They are highly valued team members at the hotel.
InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest, a part of the Ana Hotels group, has a rich historical significance. Dating back to 1914, the hotel served as a refuge during World War II and played a key role in espionage operations.
The hotel’s stunning lobby, adorned with marble columns and fresh flowers, leads to the English Bar and Roberto’s restaurant. Roberto’s, a charming Italian eatery inspired by the 1950s, offers a delightful dining experience curated by executive chef Yevgen Denysenko.
During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring dishes like beef carpaccio, seafood starters, and delicious pasta dishes at Roberto’s. The breakfast selection at Roberto’s is extensive, and the executive lounge provides a peaceful setting for meals.
Our room, designed with inspiration from the Belle Époque era, was tastefully furnished with modern amenities while paying homage to the hotel’s prestigious history. The spa, complete with a sauna and jacuzzi, offered a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring Bucharest.
Located in the heart of the city, InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest is conveniently situated near cultural landmarks such as the National Art Museum and the Atheneum. The lively Calea Victoriei Boulevard, a short walk away, offers a charming stroll through the city’s Old Town and a vibrant atmosphere on weekends.
A stay at this legendary hotel offers more than just luxury and comfort; it immerses you in the rich history and culture of Bucharest.
