The Best Hotel in Romania

Background Illustration for Hotels

Romania's strong suit is not so much in its glittering high-rise hotels, but the more folksy, family-run and historic lodgings. Elegant Black Sea spas' thermal waters and mud baths are still sought out as cures for rheumatism, arthritis, or simply for their regenerative treatments. In Bucharest, you'll find gorgeous historic accommodations to rival any in Europe. But the "most zany" award definitely goes to the Hotel of Ice, high atop the Carpathian Mountains, constructed solely of ice bricks. Guests sleep in ice beds (with mattresses and fur blankets), dine on ice tables, and sip drinks from the ice bar.

Home to the restaurant of the same name, this boutique hotel in Comana Natural Park (a 45 minute drive from Giurgiu) is well-sited for families with young children. The park has an adventure zone where kids can climb trees and a rock wall, practice archery, and ride horses, and within the park are bicycle and boat hire facilities. The rooms are decorated in a mix of local and Swiss-chalet style, with dark wood furniture painted with bright accents and hardwood floors topped with Oriental rugs.

Pros

  • Wi-Fi
  • A boat ride is included in the price
  • Spa

Cons

  • Service could use some improvement
  • The restaurant is very popular and thus crowded
