Intercontinental

Standing over 80 metres tall, from its completion in 1970 until the opening of the Europa Tower in Piata Victoriei, the Inter Continental was the tallest building in Romania for more than thirty years. Designed by a team of four architects (three Romanian, one American) the Inter Continental provided a dramatic backdrop for the events of December 21/22 1989, when revolutionaries fought pitch battles with the remnants of the communist regime under the noses of foreign journalists watching from the balconies of their rooms. Recently renovated, the hotel is today a five star wonder, and still a favourite with visiting journalists and businessmen. VAT included. Prices include breakfast.
