Studio 3 – Retro design & contemporary comfort in the heart of Sibiu
There are times when you don’t just want a hotel room. You want a place that feels like home, but without the hassle of tables, cleanliness or cramped space. You want it close to the center, but in a quiet area. It wants to have personality, but also the modern amenities you need every day. And when you’re looking for accommodation in Sibiu that ticks all these boxes, Studio 3 at Pensiunea Imperial is just the place that doesn’t just feel “ok” – it feels just right.
We designed this studio for those who appreciate details. It’s not just a clean and well-maintained space, but one with soul. With restored hardwood furniture, antique-look light fixtures, soft textiles in calming hues and a balance between classic and contemporary that you feel as soon as you walk in. Here you don’t find generic furniture, but a story carried forward through design.
Whether you’re in town for a vacation, a city break or a family event, Studio 3 offers exactly the kind of comfort you can’t get in an impersonal space. There’s a kitchenette, seating area, generous bed, private bathroom and everything you’d expect from a hotel apartment in Sibiu – with hotel standards, but the warmth of a hostel.
And, yes, it’s close to the center. But not in its chaos. You can walk to the main sights in a few minutes, but you come back in the evening to a calm, warmly lit place with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.
For many of our guests, Studio 3 has become the constant choice every time they return to Sibiu. And not just for the design. But for that rare feeling of having a good time, from the first key you receive to the last morning you quietly make your coffee.
Benefits of choosing Studio 3
📍 You’re in Sibiu. You want to stay central, but you want to be able to sleep peacefully.
Studio 3 is the perfect choice if you want to be within walking distance of the city center, but not feel the hustle and bustle of the tourist hustle and bustle every night. You’ve got the Grand Market close by, good restaurants a stone’s throw away, but when you close the door, you walk into a calm, airy space that feels like you belong.
🛏️ You don’t just want a bed. You want a space you feel comfortable in.
Studio 3 is not your ordinary hotel room. It has a comfortable double bed, a seating area with a sofa, a coffee table where you can sip your coffee in peace, a dining nook and a discreetly but fully equipped kitchenette. Basically, you have everything you’d have at home – without the worries of home.
🪑 You like spaces that tell a story.
Design makes the difference. Restored furniture, wrought-iron chandeliers, heavy drapes and carefully chosen carpeting create a decor with personality. It’s the kind of inspiring space that gives you a real break from generic hotel decor. Every element in Studio 3 has been designed to please you – not just to tick a box.
