Radisson Blu is a five-star full-service city hotel at Calea Victoriei 63-81, București 010065, Romania, on the central Calea Victoriei corridor beside the Romanian Athenaeum and Revolution Square. Its identity is that of a contemporary international hotel built around accommodation, dining, wellness and meetings rather than a visitor attraction with an admission desk. Travelers choose it for polished rooms and suites, a substantial health-club complex, seasonal outdoor-pool time, and immediate access to central Bucharest’s cultural landmarks, shops and restaurants.
What to Expect at Radisson Blu
The public-facing experience centers on food, drinks and wellness. Dacia Felix Restaurant is the hotel’s principal breakfast setting, while Caffè Città brings an Italian menu into a relaxed indoor dining room. Ginger Sushi Bar & Lounge focuses on Japanese and Asian flavors, and the summer-oriented Nami Beach Club combines poolside seating with food and cocktails. These venues make the property useful even for travelers not staying overnight; advance bookings are sensible for dinner, weekend tables and seasonal pool access.
For downtime, the hotel combines an indoor swimming pool, fitness facilities and the THAIco SPA, where treatments are booked separately. In warm weather, the outdoor pool and Nami Beach Club change the rhythm from business hotel to resort-style urban break. The building’s practical design includes a staffed lobby, lifts to guest floors and extensive function space, while its Calea Victoriei frontage puts neoclassical and Belle Époque streetscapes, concert halls and museums within walking distance.
- THAIco SPA: bookable Thai-inspired treatments, massages and wellness time within the hotel.
- Indoor pool and fitness club: year-round exercise and relaxation facilities, with use subject to the applicable guest or club conditions.
- Nami Beach Club: seasonal outdoor pool, sun-lounger atmosphere, cocktails and food service.
- Ginger Sushi Bar & Lounge: Japanese and Asian dishes in a dedicated restaurant-and-lounge setting.
- Caffè Città and Dacia Felix: Italian dining and the hotel’s main breakfast restaurant.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
For the calmest lobby and easiest restaurant arrival, come before the breakfast rush or in mid-afternoon; evening dining is livelier, especially Thursday through Saturday. There is no attraction ticket to buy, but reserve accommodation, THAIco SPA treatments, dinner and any summer pool visit before arriving. Ask the hotel directly about current Nami Beach Club entry rules, pool availability and whether a minimum spend or day reservation applies. Reception can arrange taxis; from Henri Coandă International Airport, allow extra time during weekday traffic.
Guests arriving by Metro can walk from Piața Romană via Bulevardul Lascăr Catargiu and Calea Victoriei, or from Universitate via Revolution Square; both routes use city pavements that can be uneven in places. The hotel has lifts and accessible accommodation options, making it more manageable for wheelchair users and families with strollers than many older central buildings; confirm a suitable room and the current spa or pool access arrangements when reserving. The Romanian Athenaeum is roughly a six-minute walk, Revolution Square about five minutes, and the Art Collections Museum around 10 minutes along Calea Victoriei. Amzei Market and its surrounding cafés are also within an easy 10-minute walk.
