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.
