FM newsroom – hospitality, hotel development. Corinthia Grand Hotel Boulevard in Bucharest, the first Corinthia hotel in Romania, presents its signature suite that showcases the style and quality standards of the brand and is the epitome of the amenities and finishes throughout the hotel that reflects the level of comfort to future hotel guests.
Showcasing Corinthia’s Signature Style and Standards
Niro Investment Group announces the completion of the mock-up suite, an important step in the process of developing and completing a luxury hotel project. The „mock-up room” is a reference stage for the hotel project as a whole as it allows the visualisation of the concept: testing all the fittings, materials used, functionalities, quality of finishing, and cleaning process and also making technical and aesthetic adjustments before they are replicated throughout the entire building.
Located on the corner at the intersection of Queen Elisabeth Boulevard and Calea Victoriei, the apartment offers a spectacular view of the old city center.
Romania’s First Corinthia Boutique Hotel
The Grand Hotel Boulevard will be the first luxury boutique hotel to open in Romania under the exclusive Corinthia brand.
” We are proud to have Corinthia, one of the most exclusive and refined international brands in the luxury hotel industry, as our partner in this project. The opening of the first Corinthia hotel in Romania will be yet another first for Niro Investment Group, which in recent years has focused on strategic and innovative hospitality projects”, said Christophe Chamboncel, Head of Hospitality and Development, Niro Investment Group.
A Landmark Rich in History and Innovation
Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest will operate in a building emblematic of the capital’s history and culture.
Built in 1867 by the architect Alexandru Orăscu and designed from the very beginning as a hotel, the Grand Hotel du Boulevard enjoyed exceptional facilities from the beginning, being the first hotel in the country to be electrically lit, with running water in the rooms and an elevator. Its remarkable architecture and facilities meeting the highest standards of comfort won it gold medals at the international exhibitions in Milan (1906) and Turin (1911).
A symbol of elegance and refinement, the Grand Hotel du Boulevard has always been a central point in the social, cultural and artistic life of high society in the capital and throughout Europe. The sumptuous Marble Hall was considered the capital’s most elegant social venue and hosted art exhibitions, diplomatic meetings and receptions, gala dinners, and balls for the aristocracy of the time.
The building is now undergoing an extensive renovation and refurbishment process in line with Corinthia hotels’ standards of luxury, functionality, comfort, and style, designed to restore at least its original splendour. The Corinthia du Grand Hotel du Boulevard thus follows in the tradition of Corinthia luxury hotels housed in restored historic 19th-century buildings such as the Corinthia London and Corinthia Budapest.
