Hotel Imparatul Romanilor, Sibiu
This charming hotel in a superb location barely 50 metres from Mara Square, means the cafes, bars and museum are on your doorstep. Perfect for our three night stay. Dating back to the 16th century, it has an elegant interior, indoor pool, a sauna and a gym. It also has another curiosity, and that is the portable air conditioning systems in each room. They may look strange set against the traditional style furniture and charm of each room but the simple reason is that air conditioning units cannot be integrated in each room and this is a 500 year old listed historical building and, thankfully, they are not allowed to deface it. Plus, it is really nice to know that you do have air conditioning!
