If friends ask us where to stay in Brașov, we name two hotels. **Qosmo**, in the newer Coresi district, is our favourite overall: calm, beautifully designed rooms, free parking at the door and **Monark**, the restaurant downstairs, which is one of our favourite places to eat in the whole city. The **Radisson Blu Aurum**, on Bulevardul Eroilor, is the one we pick when we want to walk everywhere: the Old Town starts just across the road. We've paid our own way at both, and nobody asked us to write this.

Hotel facts below come from each hotel's own website and its Booking.com listing, checked on 14 November 2026.

## Qosmo: design, calm and Monark downstairs

Qosmo feels like a city hotel built for slowing down. The [hotel describes](https://qosmohotels.com/rooms-suites/) each of its **128 rooms** as "a quiet, calming chamber", with floor-to-ceiling windows, a see-through glass bathroom and lighting, blinds and temperature you can set to suit you. It's also one of the hotels listed in the [MICHELIN Guide](https://guide.michelin.com/en/hotels-stays/Brasov%20County/qosmo-brasov-hotel-16845).

*The Coresi quarter, the new district around Qosmo, built where the Tractorul factory once stood.*

### The rooms

The [rooms and suites page](https://qosmohotels.com/rooms-suites/) lists:

- **Concept King Room**, 26 m², with big windows over the city.
- **Design King Room**, 35 m², with more space and the same in-room controls.
- **Terrace versions** of both, each with a 6 m² private terrace.
- **Five suites**, from the 34 m² Junior Signature Suites, each with its own style and a terrace, up to **The QOSMO Suite**: 96 m² inside, a living room with skyline views and a 108 m² terrace.

### Monark, our favourite table in Brașov

We could happily stay at Qosmo for the restaurant alone. **Monark** is a big, bright room with 170 seats, enormous windows and a 100 m² terrace with a stone bar, according to the [hotel's dining page](https://qosmohotels.com/dining/). The kitchen is led by executive chef **Cornel Berta**, and the [restaurant page](https://qosmohotels.com/monark-restaurant) describes a modern take on fine dining.

It's open every day from **07:00 to 24:00**, so it covers breakfast too: the breakfast menu includes eggs Benedict with truffles and ham, and shakshuka. You don't need to be staying at the hotel to eat here; book a table on +40 374 495 900. Our [guide to eating out in Brașov](https://wowbrasov.com/en/where-to-eat-in-brasov) has Monark's prices, course by course.

Next door, **AGHO** is the hotel's cocktail studio, open from 08:00 to 00:00, and it's a lovely place for a drink before or after dinner.

### Nice extras nearby

The hotel's [extras page](https://qosmohotels.com/extras/) points to **Belaqva Active Wellness**, in the same Coresi area, with a fitness room, a sauna and a semi-Olympic swimming pool, and to **Madame Prallini**, a French-style pâtisserie. Ask the hotel whether your rate includes Belaqva before you go.

If you'd rather not drive, Qosmo arranges [private transfers](https://qosmohotels.com/transfer/) with Kronway: from **EUR 210** to or from Bucharest airport, and from **EUR 90** to Bran Castle.

### Location and getting into town

Qosmo is at **Strada Zaharia Stancu 4**, in Coresi, the new district in the north-east of Brașov built on the site of the old Tractorul factory. The **Coresi Shopping Resort** is right next door, which is handy for a rainy afternoon (see our [shopping centres guide](https://wowbrasov.com/en/shopping-centres-in-brasov)).

The Old Town is about 4 km away. Buses **2** and **2B** run between the Coresi stop and Livada Poștei, on the edge of the Old Town, according to the [RATBV line 2 timetable](https://www.ratbv.ro/afisaje/2-dus.html), and a single ticket costs 5 lei. A Bolt costs roughly 15–40 lei; see [getting around Brașov](https://wowbrasov.com/en/transportation-in-brasov-how-to-get-around-the-city-and-its-surroundings).

### Parking

This is where Qosmo really shines for drivers: Booking.com lists **free private parking on site**, with an **electric-car charging station**. No circling the Old Town looking for a space, and no parking app.

## Radisson Blu Aurum: the Old Town on your doorstep

The Radisson Blu Aurum is the easy choice for a first visit without a car. It sits on **Bulevardul Eroilor 23**, the wide boulevard along the northern edge of the Old Town, so Piața Sfatului, the [Black Church](https://wowbrasov.com/en/discover-the-black-church-in-brasov) and the old streets around them are a short walk away.

*Bulevardul Eroilor, the boulevard the hotel stands on, at the northern edge of the Old Town.*

### The rooms

The hotel has **110 rooms and suites**, from the 26 m² Standard Room to the suites, according to its [rooms page](https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-blu-aurum-brasov/rooms). Some rooms have balconies, and every room has coffee and tea facilities, a bathrobe and slippers. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00.

### Restaurants and bars

Yes, it has restaurants: four places to eat and drink, according to the [hotel's dining page](https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-blu-aurum-brasov/restaurants-and-bars):

| Venue | What it is | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| **Artis** | European and Asian cooking, a live kitchen, a sushi counter and vegan options | Breakfast 07:00–10:00 on weekdays, 07:00–11:00 at weekends; then 14:00–23:00 (last orders 22:30) |
| **Aurum Lobby Bar** | Drinks and cocktails | Daily 11:00–01:00 |
| **Etheris SkyBar** | Drinks with views over Brașov | Daily 17:00–22:00 |
| **Ordo di Artis** | Themed dinners and wine tastings | By reservation |

The SkyBar is where we'd head for an evening drink with a view.

### Services

The [services page](https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-blu-aurum-brasov/services) lists:

- **A rooftop pool with a pool bar**, open daily 09:00–21:00 in season. It's seasonal: closed from 12 October 2026 to 30 April 2027.
- **A fitness centre**, open 24 hours.
- **Laundry and dry cleaning**, **babysitting**, **luggage storage** and **cots** on request.
- **Car rental** at the hotel, **bicycle rental** and a **concierge**.
- **Free Wi-Fi**, and early check-in on request, if a room is free.

### Location

From the hotel you can walk to Piața Sfatului in about 6–8 minutes, by our estimate from the map. Livada Poștei, where the airport bus A1 and bus 20 to Poiana Brașov stop, is just around the corner, so it also works well if you're heading up the mountain for a day.

### Parking

The hotel has no car park of its own. Its services page offers **private parking at a nearby location for EUR 20 per vehicle per day**, or **valet parking for EUR 25 per day**, both with limited spaces, so ask when you book. The public car parks along Bulevardul Eroilor are in Zone 0, at 3 lei an hour (Monday to Saturday, 08:00–20:00); our [parking guide](https://wowbrasov.com/en/parking-in-brasov) explains the zones and the other car parks nearby.

## Which one should you pick?

- **Coming by car, or after a quiet, stylish stay?** Qosmo: free parking, calm rooms and Monark downstairs make it hard to beat.
- **First time in Brașov and want to walk everywhere?** The Radisson Blu Aurum: you'll be in the Old Town within minutes.
