Carol Parc Hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carol Parc Hotel in Bucharest, Romania, is a five star hotel near historical Carol Park. Opened in 2007,[1] it contains one of the largest Murano crystal chandeliers in the world, stretching over four stories tall. [citation needed] Several celebrities have stayed there, including foreign dignitaries, singer Beyoncé Knowles, Deep Purple, Angela Gheorghiu, and Enrique Iglesias. [citation needed]
The hotel is located in the heart of Bucharest, on Aleea Suter Str. near the historical Carol Park. It is located on one of the city's highest geographic locations, Filaret Hill (named after a late 18th-century metropolitan bishop of the region[2]). The cul-de-sac is named after Suter, a German architect who helped in the planning of the park and parts of the neighborhood, including the symmetrically built Suter street. [citation needed] Aleea is Romanian for "alley."
Newsweek included the hotel in its "Best of Romania" article, later following up with an exclusive in which the "extravagant services" are detailed.[3]
Peter Imre, a Romanian restaurant critic, compared the hotel and its POEM Restaurant to the luxurious venues of the Interbellum Era, saying that "Sitting here, you expect King Carol and Queen Elisabeta to enter at any time.".[4]
The building also received an award for "Best Renovation/Restoration Project in 2007" from the Romanian Architects Association.[5]
