Bucharest celebrates grand opening of five-star Grand Hôtel du Boulevard

Grand Hôtel du Boulevard, the newest five-star hotel in Bucharest, opens on Monday, March 24, under the international luxury Corinthia brand. The location was one of the Romanian capital’s most exclusive for around 150 years.

The hotel, a symbol of the capital, has been completely renovated and adapted to the standards of the international hotel chain while preserving the history of the building. First opened in 1873 under the name Hotel Herdan, after its then-owner Jacques Herdan, the hotel was renamed Grand Hôtel du Boulevard six years later, a name that has remained to this day.
