EPOQUE HOTEL RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX
History & Story
Opened in the autumn of 2010, Epoque is a creation of beauty and comfort, destined to accommodate its guests in all personal freedom. As a family business, Epoque has a cult for individuality and celebrates the concept of travel as experience. “L’art de vivre” is at the core of Epoque’s philosophy since inception and it is what shapes our daily routine as well as our sense of direction. In the deepest respect for true hospitality, authenticity and quality, we have taken each step in our development as an expression of our mission: to offer exceptional experiences of cuisine and hospitality. Signing “Retreat in the heart of the city”, the hotel promises an exclusive haven of serenity in an otherwise busy downtown.

Main Strengths, Special Touch
Epoque is a unique concept on the Romanian market and a memorable destination for business and leisure travelers alike. The façade proposes classical French architecture, a tribute to Bucharest’s “petit Paris” age. The interior becomes a more personal experience, unravelling a contemporary interpretation of the Neo-Romanian style, the local architecture of the first half of the XIXth century. National attributes are the leitmotivs of interior design: clean luminous colors, simple lines, gracious columns and arcs, noble materials, the warmth of craft wood. One signature element, a double teardrop that recalls the traditional representation of the solar wheel, individualizes the furniture, carpets and floors.
Location
Signing “Retreat in the heart of the city”, the hotel promises an exclusive haven of serenity in an otherwise busy downtown. Within walking distance to main Bucharest’s landmarks, the Epoque has been designed and built with a true appreciation of the genius loci, residing in perfect harmony with its neighborhood. It is an eclectic neighborhood, next to Cismigiu gardens, typical for Bucharest’s kaleidoscope of styles, therefore the building is devised to coexist and blend naturally in the context.
