The Corinthia Bucharest, a historical hotel in Romania's capital, reopened after a seven-year renovation. Originally established in 1873, it was the first in the city with electric lights and an elevator. Its storied past includes hosting prestigious events and serving various purposes through tumultuous times, including World War II. The recent restoration has revived its Belle Ãpoque glory while preserving original features and showcasing Romanian art. Unique artifacts were found during renovations, connecting the hotel to its illustrious history, exemplified by modernized dishes honoring its past.
"Over the four days I stayed at the newly opened Corinthia Bucharest in Romania's capital--fresh off a seven-year renovation and rebranding--I heard this line repeated by everyone, from the concierge to the servers who once visited the building as children."
"It took nearly a year just to remove the dust from the ballroom's intricately carved, gold leaf-encased columns and Art Nouveau glazed ceilings. But now Boulevard 73 has been restored to its 20th-century glory."
