Hilton Hotel Enjoys Central Old Town Bucharest Location

Published

on

Mere steps from the imposing National Bank of Romania and numerous restaurants, museums and art galleries in the heart of historic Bucharest, the Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Old Town could not be better positioned.

Opened less than a decade ago after two years of renovation by a Lithuanian-based group, the 7-storey building has housed many tenants during its 150-year existence including being an insurance company, cheese shop, bakery, tailor, stockbroker and a fur company. It also survived a major earthquake in 1977 which destroyed part of the structure.

Arriving after a tiring 5-hour drive through undulating Romanian countryside, my companion and I settled ourselves contentedly on soft cushioned wicker armchairs on the terrace on a balmy evening and ordered a bottle of rose wine produced in the well-known vineyard region of Dealu Mare. 

From a wide-ranging menu at the Beef Room, aptly named as its featured highlights were a selection of meats including dry aged ribeye, T-bone tomahawk and sirloin as well as two varieties of hamburger. There was also rigatoni and pappardelle pastas and seafood dishes such as pan-fried salmon and Black Sea mussels. For vegetarians, selections included mushroom quesadillas and tomato orzo.

The aroma of sizzling meat from a nearby table was too much for my hungry companion who opted for the rib eye which came as a generous cut presented on a thick iron griddle and sliced carefully table-side, accompanied by three different sauces. My choice was hamburger, tastefully combined with melted burrata, basil pesto, spinach and garlic.

Breakfast is also served in the Beef Room, its interior designed with an arrangement of mirrors decorating one wall and framed vintage portraits and photographs of 19th century Bucharest on another, with potted plants on shelves adding a touch of Nature to the overall ambience. Here among the buffet selection I discovered traditional Romanian dishes including salata de vinete (eggplant salad), icre (fish eggs) and zacusca (a blend of slow-cooked vegetables), as well as locally produced cheeses such as telemea.

Our room, 120, on the first floor had a high ceiling and large windows leading to a small balcony overlooking neighboring buildings featuring ornate architecture from the mid-19th century. Our room furnishings included a large TV, soft armchair, coffee table and a work bench. A walk-in shower featured Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries.

Friendly hotel manager, Irina Semaca, a native of the Moldova region in the northeast, has comprehensive experience in many departments in other Bucharest hotels and training provided by Cornell University, a leading hospitality school in the US. She spoke proudly about how her hotel supports ‘Asociatia Ana si Copiii,’ working with disadvantaged families to help prevent child school abandonment and also with ‘Asociatia Pavel, supporting the needs of children with cancer.

Every year, the hotel dresses its Christmas tree with colorful decorations made by these sick children.

One of the strong advantages of the Hilton Garden Inn is its close vicinity to some city cultural highlights including the National Theater, the Museum of Communism and the National History Museum, which contains invaluable gold, silver and gemstone treasures. Also worth visiting in Bucharest is the eclectic Museum of Recent Art, which has a ground-floor cafe and an outdoor Village Museum featuring traditional houses from different regions of Romania.

The hotel has 201 rooms of various categories catering to both leisure and business guests. Its facilities include a gym, restaurant with outdoor terrace and seven flexible meeting rooms with movable panels that can host different size events. These are located just beyond some colonnades on the ground floor where paintings by various artists adorn the walls. The hotel also has a free 24-hour business center and shop. For guest convenience, an inexpensive parking lot is located close by.

Experience life at sea on the Adriatic with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split

The stunning view of Korcula old town in Croatia

HEARING someone shout: “Shame!” while I’m walking along the street is not something I’m used to experiencing.

But in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik this is thankfully not an insult, it’s just fellow set-jetters getting into the spirit of one of Game Of Thrones’ most famous scenes – The Walk of Shame.

The Jesuit Staircase in the Old Town is where this iconic story line was filmed, so I channel the character of Cersei Lannister and give it a go myself.

Although, I hasten to add, I draw the line at stripping off – despite an earlier lunch spent indulging in Croatian wine, £6 a glass, at the picturesque cliffside Buza Bar (Bbuza.com).

(Not) Below Deck

I’ve always fancied trying life at sea, which is why my friend Lizzi and I have booked a Go Croatia Sail cruise from Dubrovnik to Split.

Soon it’s time to see our home for the next five days – a boat named Ocean – and our 28 fellow travellers, all aged between 30 and 45, and an eclectic mix of Americans, Australians and Brits.

We’ve booked a Premier Plus cruise, so the en-suite cabins are surprisingly spacious and a hot tub sits on the top deck.

Each morning at around 5am the ship sets sail, before stopping at a swim spot on the way to its next destination.

Jumping into the clear blue Adriatic Sea soon becomes my favourite way to start the day.

A daily three-course lunch is included and served before the boat docks, with the likes of seafood risotto, chicken salad, and pork with vegetables, as well as desserts including the most delicious chocolate mille-feuille.

Meanwhile, the bar is stocked with local tipples, including beer from £4, and excursions can be booked with the rep each evening for the next day.

Five best beaches to visit around Croatia

Grape expectations

We arrive at stunning Korcula Island, famed for its wine culture, and immediately set off to find the best bottles on our first excursion.

The Lumbarda mini wine tour tasting experience, £25 for 1 hour, takes us on an open-top sightseeing bus tour of Lumbarda village at the eastern tip of the island, before visiting family-run Winery Adria.

Guide Vito has us all giggling with his jokes – although our chuckles might be in part due to the very generous wine samples along the way.

We also taste local lemon curd, honey and olive oil.

Having toasted our guide quite a few times, we return to the Old Town to climb a precarious ladder to the famous Massimo cocktail bar in the medieval Zakerjan Tower.

Here, we sip mojitos, £12.50, as the sun sets, before taking a stroll along the little lanes to idyllic Restaurant Filippi for a dinner of freshly caught fish with vegetables, £20, as well as more local white wine, £20 per bottle (Restaurantfilippi.com).

Hvar it large

Hvar Island is our second dock – and my favourite.

Strolling up to the Spanjola Fortress gives us the perfect view of the town, before we venture down the streets of Stari Grad’s Old Town for some souvenir shopping.

We then feast on pasta loaded with mussels, prawns and clams, £15, at buzzy La Bocca (@Laboccahvar).

Later, some of the group head to club Seven’s silent disco for a boogie and a blast (Sevenhvar.com).

Our last day begins with a swim near Brac Island, before we make our final stop at the biggest city on the Dalmatian coast – Split.

Bacvice Beach is perfect for a splash before we wander through the beautiful ruins of Diocletian’s Palace.

Our pick of posh Bajamonti for our last supper proves a great choice, as we tuck into swordfish tartare with beetroot gel, basil cream and balsamic pearls, £12, followed by sea bass cooked in salt with vegetables and theatrically deboned at the table, £50 for two people (Bajamonti.com).

There’s just time to visit the ice-cream pros at Gelateria Emiliana (@Gelateriaemiliana2019) for two huge scoops of its fig speciality, £3.50, before goodbye drinks with the group at O’Hara’s Irish Bar (@Oharaspubsplit).

All too soon we have to “Split” from our shipmates and catch our flight home.

But there’s no doubt I’ll return to Croatia’s gorgeous coast one day.

Five-day cruises from Dubrovnik to Split with Go Croatia Sail cost from £559 per person (Gocroatiasail.com).

Flights from the UK to Croatia cost from £25 each way.

I visited the Spanish town that ‘smells of chocolate’ – and it’s 10 minutes from Benidorm

Published

on

The pastel-painted town of Villajoyosa near Benidorm smelt of chocolate

WHEN I first heard of the pastel-painted town near Benidorm that smelt of chocolate, I couldn’t quite believe it.

Yet, as we head out down Villajoyosa’s main shopping street, that unmistakable warm, comforting aroma wraps around us like a hug.

The Valor Chocolate Museum is our first stop.

Originally there were more than 40 factories producing the sweet stuff in Villajoyosa, founded when boats from Africa and South America arrived at the Spanish port laden with cocoa beans.

Nowadays, the three remaining factories offer free visits and tastings, and it would be rude not to visit them all.

Advertisement

Valor has been making chocolate since 1881, and its bars are a common sight throughout Spain.

The compnay is a sleek operation, producing enough chocolate each year to circle the globe, but it remains family owned.

Our next stop, Perez, welcomes us into a retro chocolate shop with family photos lining the walls.

Current owner Gaspar, grandson of the founder, plies us with gooey hot chocolate and samples of their imaginatively flavoured bars, including rich coffee and olive oil.

Advertisement

Finally, we haul our bellies to Clavileño, named after Don Quixote’s horse from the classic novel.

We peep through a window to see a churning river of molten chocolate before tasting the latest creation — pastel pink chocolate, its colour naturally obtained from ruby cocoa beans.

Once we’ve had our fill of chocolate, we soon realise there’s more to Villajoyosa than confection.

Villajoyosa: The Colourful Jewel of Europe

Rainbow-hued houses, which wouldn’t look out of place on the front of a chocolate box, line the harbour jostling for position.

Advertisement

“Las casas de colores” come in blue, canary yellow, pastel pink, green and red ochre.

It’s said the bright colours helped fishermen locate their houses from the ocean in days gone by.

The river Amadorio opens out to the sea here, overlooked by “casas penjants” (hanging houses) clinging to the cliffs, these too clad in pastel tones.

Villajoyosa’s name translates as “joyful town”.

Advertisement

It was christened by Admiral Bernat de Sarrià, who founded the town in 1300, to attract new inhabitants.

Relaxed vibe

Yet when we ask people who have settled here what they love most about La Vila, as it’s called by those in the know, they are tight-lipped.

The caginess, I realise, is because they want to keep the town to themselves.

As we wander around the narrow alleyways of the old town, street art at every turn, a relaxed vibe oozes from the little bars and ­restaurants.

Advertisement

The atmosphere couldn’t be more different than that of busy neighbour Benidorm, just 15 minutes away by car, looming like a mirage of glinting skyscrapers across the headland.

La Vila has 13 beaches to choose from.

Playa Centro, the town beach, has plenty of space, as it’s almost a mile long.

The town’s pretty port sits towards the northern end. Still an active harbour, laden fishing boats arrive there each afternoon.

Advertisement

A ribbon of bars and restaurants spill onto the tree-lined promenade.

Local dishes include Pebrereta, a stew of green pepper, pumpkin, tomato and fish; savoury “cocas”, pies made with meat or fish; and rice with onion and pumpkin.

The town is also steeped in history.

It was once the site of a Roman military camp, and later became the Roman city of Allon.

Advertisement

The thick town walls, punctuated by chunky towers, were designed to protect inhabitants from invaders arriving by sea.

Off the coast rests the wreck of the Bou Ferrer, a Roman merchant ship which was on its way to Rome at the behest of Emperor Nero when it sank.

The wreck was accidentally discovered by divers José Bou and Antoine Ferrer 25 years ago.

An exhibition about the vessel an be seen at the town museum until June 2025.

A breeze tugs at the fishing nets strung above head height across the narrow streets, a nod to the important role the town played in this industry, bringing with it a waft of that tempting smell of chocolate.

Advertisement

As we enjoy paella on the waterfront at El Guitarra, a couple on the next table tell us how lucky they feel to have discovered Villajoyosa.

I can understand why people would want to keep this gem of a place to themselves, but I’m glad I found it, too.

GO: Villa Joyosa

GETTING THERE: EasyJet, Ryanair, BA and Vueling all fly to Alicante, a 30-minute drive from Villajoyosa.

New £80million hotel opens near major UK airport – and it’s the city’s biggest

Published

on

The ground floor's hotel restaurant is Italian-inspired

A NORTHERN city has just unveiled a massive, luxury hotel which is just around the corner from a major UK airport.

You can now stay at the enormous 4-star hotel TRIBE in Manchester, which is just a couple of minutes away from the city’s airport.

The swanky new hotel is located just off the M56 next to Terminal 2.

The hotel is said to be the northern city’s largest – with a whopping 412 bedrooms costing up to £155 per night.

With the design of the space costing an extraordinary £80 million, intricate details have not gone amiss.

This is particularly evident in the “irregular trapezoid” shape of the space which is said to increase the overall floor space.

Director of sales Ben McNally said: “The hotel was built in the most energy efficient way to maximise light and minimise use of construction materials,

“So you have this massive light well in the middle and it helps the atmosphere change from day to night.

“It’s a way of giving the space its own rhythm.”

The hotel also has a breakfast room, which can be used as a private dining space if requested.

Advertisement

The lobby boasts an impressive ceiling too – vibrant with interesting and modern architecture.

An inner atrium can be found on the ground floor pouring light into the hotel’s restaurant, bar and lobby.

Europe’s first seaside resort has stunning huge hotel right on the beach

If you look up to its glass roof you will also notice the floor to ceiling windows present in each one of the bedrooms.

The ground floor is home to a “grab and go” cafe where clients can get their morning coffee.

Advertisement

And for those looking to exercise, the lower level also has an impressive gym fit with all of the essentials.

There are even plans for a retail shop – just in case you need anything extra for your stay.

The hotel’s general manager Seamus O’Hara told Manchester Evening News: “It’s the first lifestyle hotel at the airport, for people who maybe don’t want to stay in a traditional Marriott or Crowne plaza, it offers something a bit funky.

“With the hotel’s scale and the convenience of the location it’s the perfect place for people who want to start their holiday in style, and to start from the moment they get here.”

Bedrooms

The 4-star hotel’s bedrooms spread across its eight floors and are just as awe-inspiring.

The top floor is expected to be finished at the end of the year and will offer the remaining bedrooms.

This hasn’t stopped the hotel from welcoming guests however, with more than half of the bedrooms available for booking.

Hotel-goers can choose from either an Essential bedroom – costing £115 per night – or the larger Extra room for £155 a night.

Advertisement

The views from every bedroom vary but you are guaranteed either a peek at the outside world or the hotel’s central atrium.

There are 24 accessible bedrooms and some rooms feature sofa beds, which can be used for those travelling with a family.

All the rooms have hues of orange and dark blue along with soap and hair products by luxury bran Kevin Murphy.

Restaurant

The ground floor’s hotel restaurant is Italian-inspired with a stylish art-deco looking bar, and tables and chairs for up to 220 guests.

Advertisement

It’s open to everyone, even if your aren’t a hotel guest and offers an all day menu based on “Amalfi Italian” cuisine from the creative director Daniele Pampagnin.

The drinks menu includes a variety of wines including many from independent vineyards.

For breakfast, guests can choose from a buffet which includes vegan and gluten free options.

Parking

There is limited, pre-booksble guest parking for overnight parking next to the hotel.

Advertisement

Those needing longer stay parking options will be able to use the hotel’s partners park and stay facilities.

The Manchester TRIBE Hotel is the first one in the city but the second in the UK, with another standing tall in the capital’s financial district Canary Wharf.

TRIBE first launched across the pond in Australia, with the ethos: “Everything you need and nothing you don’t.”

It is now owned by the Accor group and has 19 hotels across the globe.

Though the specific locations have not yet been confirmed, many more TRIBE hotels are expected to be built worldwide in the coming years.
