Sinaia is situated almost in the center of
the country, on the Prahova Valley, at about 120
km from Bucharest and 45 km from Brasov on
DN 1, a modernised road which runs along the
river and passes through unique spots.
The town lies at the foot of the Bucegi
Mountains at 800 m above sea level. Protected
against the coldest winds, Sinaia has a sparing
climate, not very hot in summer (22°C to 24°C)
and not very cold in winter (-1°C to -8°C). The
beauty of the landscape, the freshness of the
summer days and the abundance of the snow in
winter made Sinaia the moust famous mountain
resort in Romania, surnamed the Perl of
Carpathians
Within this very picturesque frame you can find
International Hotel, built in 1983 as a winter
sports hotel and refurbished in 2001 - 2003 as a
business center as well as a recreation place.
