NIRO Investment Group, part of the story of “Romanians Developing Romania”

NIRO Investment Group had the honor of participating in the “Romanians Developing Romania” campaign, initiated by Intact Media Group, a project that celebrates the success stories of Romanian entrepreneurs and companies. Through its vision oriented towards excellence, NIRO significantly contributes to positioning Romania on the international hospitality map, by developing three luxury hotel projects.

Soon, Grand Hotel du Boulevard will reopen its doors under the name Corinthia Bucharest, the first ultra-luxury boutique hotel in Romania. It combines historical charm with the highest hotel standards, being a symbol of refinement and reinvented tradition. At the same time, in the north of the capital, Swissôtel Bucharest, a premium hotel operated by Accor, located in an area with great economic potential, is taking shape.

Beyond borders, NIRO demonstrates that Romanian hospitality can shine on a global level. In one of the most coveted exotic destinations, the company is developing Corinthia Maldives, the first luxury resort built by a Romanian company.

“Hospitality means creating memorable experiences. Tourists do not come just to stay, but to discover the community, the culture and what Bucharest and Romania have to offer,” said Christophe Chamboncel, Executive Director of NIRO Investment Group.

Through these projects, NIRO Investment Group is transforming Romania into an attractive destination for tourists and international investors, demonstrating its ability to build a modern, competitive and sustainable economy.

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

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.
