Originally built in 1867 by architect Alexandru Orăscu, the Grand Hotel du Boulevard stands at the iconic intersection of Calea Victoriei and Elisabeta Boulevard — a listed Category A national monument and a long-standing symbol of Bucharest’s cultural and social life. The first hotel in the city to feature electric lighting and an elevator, it has witnessed moments of historic significance, hosting royalty and iconic figures throughout Romania’s storied past. Following a meticulous multi-year restoration, the property has been reimagined as an all-suite boutique luxury hotel, with 30 suites that marry Belle Époque grandeur with contemporary refinement, and three signature venues — Boulevard 73, Sass’ Restaurant & Lounge, and Heritage Bar. Now operating under the prestigious Corinthia Hotels brand, it stands as Romania’s first ultra-luxury boutique hotel.
