Hospitality industry – NIRO Investment Group

NIRO Investment Group marks a key milestone with the official inauguration of Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest, the culmination of an extensive and complex restoration project dedicated to preserving the architectural heritage of Romania’s capital. This iconic endeavor revives the grandeur of the Belle Époque, blending historic splendor with contemporary elegance to transform a landmark building into an international luxury destination.

Through a strategic partnership with Corinthia Hotels and the recognized expertise of this hospitality brand, NIRO Investment Group contributes to strengthening Bucharest’s status on the global luxury tourism map.

The restoration process was implemented in collaboration with renowned international partners. GA Design International crafted a unique interior design that brings the charm of the Belle Époque to life, while Open Architecture & Lifestyle ensured the preservation of original architectural details, seamlessly integrating modern structural elements. Vitalis Consulting oversaw each stage of the project, and Alliance Properties coordinated the complex renovation works, carefully honoring the building’s historical legacy.

Originally constructed in 1873 by architect Alexandru Orăscu, Grand Hotel du Boulevard was the first hotel in Bucharest to introduce innovative amenities such as electric lighting, running water, and an elevator, quickly becoming a symbol of refinement and luxury. Recognized for its unique architecture, the hotel earned gold medals at prestigious exhibitions in Milan and Turin. Over the decades, it welcomed members of royal families, international leaders, and cultural figures.

Today, after a meticulous restoration by NIRO Investment Group, Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest regains its prestige, offering guests an exclusive experience in its 30 elegant suites, which retain Belle Époque opulence while integrating modern technology.

With a prime location in the heart of the capital and exceptional facilities, Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest is set to attract business leaders, elite tourists, and international visitors. The reopening of the hotel reaffirms the commitment of NIRO Investment Group and Corinthia Hotels to excellence in hospitality and the expansion of their global footprint.

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.
