It is one of the highly anticipated all-suite boutique luxury hotel opening in Romania’s capital city of Bucharest, considering that it is the first hotel under the Corinthia brand name- a luxury hotel chain operated in the local market.
Located in the capital’s most premium district, the iconic intersection of Calea Victoriei and Elisabeta Boulevard, Corinthia Bucharest blends the historical grandeur of the Belle Epoque period with modern luxury. The hotel was inaugurated in 1873, as the city’s most stand-out building of its time, being the first hotel with electric lights and an elevator. It has witnessed moments of cultural significance including hosting royalty and iconic figures throughout Romania’s storied past.
Corinthia Bucharest, the newly renovated and redesigned hotel, features 30 suites ranging from 32 square meters to 1116 sqm. It has a restaurant, a café, a ballroom, a boutique spa and a fitness center. The restaurant is operated under the brand SASS’ Restaurant & Lounge.
The Corinthia brand is held by International Hotel Investments (IHI) Group, a hotel and real-estate developer and operator focused on the establishment of Corinthia Hotels as a global luxury hotel brand. To this end, IHI acquires, develops, owns and operates Corinthia Hotels. The company also develops and manages hotels on behalf of partner owners and investors, and builds, owns and develops for sale – office, retail and residential property.
Corinthia Hotels Limited (CHL), the management company of the IHI Group, operates 24 hotels across three continents, of which 15 are or going to be hotels under the Corinthia brand name. Eight new hotels are under development in Brussels, Rome, Bucharest, Moscow, Doha, New York and Malta.
