In 1907, the first wing of the palace emerged, embracing the historic ‘old’ Bucharest. Its winding streets echo the traditional values of oriental merchant fairs. By 1914, the second wing welcomed the ‘new’ Bucharest, influenced by French ideals, earning the city its ‘Little Paris’ acclaim. The design honores this heritage blending French sophistication with local charm.

At the entrance, two atlantéan figures bridge past and present. Unlike their classical counterparts, these evocative forms extend a transgenerational welcome with relaxed postures, signifying inclusivity. They transcend mere decoration, acting as liminal guardians who guide guests from the exterior to the hotel’s layered narrative. This stylistic fusion, hinted at by the figures, sets the stage for a multifaceted and evocative experience.
The restaurant interior offers a bazaar-like experience with rich fabrics, patterns, and moody lighting along its longitudinal axis, blending contemporary touches. Outside, an oversized central bar dominates, evoking the charm of French orangeries and botanical gardens, elevating the dining experience.
