Publication lists Rin Grand Hotel in Bucharest among ugliest hotels in the world

The largest hotel in Europe, Rin Grand Hotel in Bucharest, owned by Romanian investors Robert and Ionut Negoita, has been listed among the 15 ugliest hotels of the world, in a top made by thejetpacker.com. “You’d think the largest hotel in Europe would look a little better than this. Even though the hotel was built in 2008, it looks like it comes from an era 20 years prior, leaving us to wonder if the designers were referencing outdated textbooks on modern architecture when they conceived this ugly thing,” wrote thejetpacker.com. Rin Grand Hotel, with over 1,400 rooms, is owned by brothers Robert and Ionut Negoita and was built following an investment of EUR 60 million. Facing low occupancy rates, the investors have decided to turn some of the hotel's rooms into apartments. Hotels like Beetham Hilton Tower - United Kingdom, Coral Hotel Muscat - Oman, El Algarrobico Hotel - Spain, First World Hotel – Malaysia were also included in the list.
