Classic makeover

Set close to the French Embassy,
newly-opened Hotel Amzei gives
the impression of an aristocrat’s
city villa with a taste for the modern industrial
look of glass and steel.
Twisted-iron sculptures under glass
floors opposite Louis XIV-style armchairs
greet guests in this bizarre and
interesting boutique hotel in the central
Bucharest market of Piata Amzei, between
main streets Blvd Magheru and
Calea Victoriei.
A reimagined 1912 residence with
marble fl oors, spiral staircase, a modern
breakfast room and elegant bedrooms,
this six-fl oor hotel has 22 rooms at prices
between 125 and 200 Euro for bed
and breakfast, a small conference centre
that can hold up to 50 people and a summer
terrace where the manager hopes to
hold small concerts and soirees.
Building on the gap in the market
for small and interesting guest residences
in the city, where competitors include
Hotel Rembrandt in the centre-south
and Residence in the centre-north, this
Romanian-owned hotel hopes to catch
a piece of the market surrounding Piata
Romana, where it offers a bijou postmodern
alternative to the traditional big
box brands.
