Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard: The magic of the holidays and the brilliance of a reborn history

Post date December 9, 2024

Last week, Christmas lights transformed Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard into a symbol of holidays and elegance. The emblematic building in the center of Bucharest, inaugurated in 1873 and designed by architect Alexandru Orăscu for jeweler Jacques Herdan, was restored by NIRO Investment Group. Thus, the hotel continues its story as a witness to the history and transformations of the capital.

The festive decor impresses with its refined details and deep meanings. Hot air balloon-shaped ornaments evoke the nostalgia of holidays of yesteryear, while carousel horses bring a playful touch, contrasting with the classic sophistication of neoclassical architecture. At the center of the decor, a thematic Christmas tree with clocks symbolizes the passage of time and the beauty of festive moments. The entire ensemble is completed by thousands of lights, fir trees and other elements that form a fairy tale setting.

Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard is preparing for a new stage, to be reopened in 2025 as a luxury boutique hotel, with 30 exclusive suites. The future destination will host the famous SASS in Monaco and a spa center and will redefine the standards of luxury hospitality in Bucharest.

This initiative symbolizes not only the restoration of a historic building, but also the celebration of a new chapter for the cultural heritage of the capital. Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard will remain a place where tradition meets modernity, offering guests an unparalleled experience.

Recognized for her ability to reinvent herself and create new trends, Loredana has greatly influenced the Romanian pop scene, becoming one of the most long-lived and beloved figures of our music. In addition to her outstanding vocal talent, Loredana also distinguished herself as a lyricist and composer, being the first Romanian artist who managed to write her own lyrics and produce her own albums, a standard rarely reached in the music industry.

The event will be sprinkled with emotional moments and a retrospective of an exceptional career, which crossed Romania’s borders and remained in the hearts of the public of all ages. A true landmark concert, which will celebrate an artist who continues to inspire with her unmistakable talent and her invaluable contribution to Romanian musical culture.
