Romana Residence

We’re Dana and Alexandra, sisters, travelers at heart, and your hosts at Romana Residence. Though our careers have taken us in different directions, Dana in communications and Alexandra in finance, we share a passion for design, hospitality, and the beauty of old Bucharest. Over years of traveling, we’ve stayed in countless short-term rentals around the world. Each stay inspired us to imagine how we might do things differently, more thoughtfully, more warmly, and with a touch of local soul. Romana Residence grew from that idea: to create a space where guests could experience the comfort of a boutique stay while feeling connected to the city’s heritage. We fell in love with this 1926 building for its story, its architecture, and its spirit, and we’re delighted to share a piece of Bucharest’s history with you. Every detail, from the restored façade to the textures and tones of the interiors, was chosen to create a calm and inviting atmosphere. As hosts, we value authenticity, comfort, and care. We’re always happy to recommend our favorite nearby cafés, walks through historic neighborhoods, or evening spots to unwind. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend escape or a longer stay, we want you to feel welcome, inspired, and at home in our city. Welcome to Bucharest and to a place that’s been prepared with heart, thought, and a true love for hosting.

Welcome to Romana Residence, two comfortable apartments housed in a 1926 heritage building designed by celebrated interwar architect Constantin Ciogolea, known for his refined architectural style that helped shape Bucharest’s early 20th-century charm. The building’s façade was beautifully restored in 2021, while its interior retains original features such as the mosaic staircase and wrought-iron handrails, a graceful blend of history and timeless elegance. Each apartment has its own character. One overlooks Dacia Boulevard and enjoys plenty of natural light throughout the day, while the other faces a quiet inner courtyard, offering a more private and peaceful atmosphere. The interiors are simple, clean, and well-maintained, providing a practical and comfortable setting for short or longer stays. Both units include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, smart TV, coffee and tea facilities, a mini-fridge, and a bathroom with shower, toiletries, and hair dryer. One apartment also features a compact kitchenette equipped with a microwave, toaster, and kettle for light meal preparation. With its central location, welcoming feel, and authentic architectural charm, Romana Residence offers a comfortable base for discovering Bucharest, a stay that combines everyday comfort with the city’s unique historic character.
