Corinthia Hotels has an ambitious expansion programme, planning to grow from its current nine branded hotels to 50 by 2030. The first new opening will be the 50-room boutique Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard Bucharest on December 1st 2019, a listed building built in 1867 and currently under restoration and refurbishment.
The Bucharest opening will be followed in Q1 2020 by the Corinthia Hotel Brussels, another landmark building being restored by Corinthia. The neo-classical façade and majestic ground floor enjoy listed protection status, and the refurbishment will turn the vacant property into a 126-room hotel with several dining venues and an ESPA spa.
Corinthia Dubai is due to open in 2020, Corinthia Doha in 2022, while there are many other live projects in the pipeline, in key locations across Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Today, Corinthia Hotels are located in Budapest, Khartoum, Lisbon, London, Prague, Malta, St Petersburg and Tripoli.
