RomaniaБухарест1968–1971Public buildingsFunctionalism

A high-rise hotel on University Square — the first skyscraper hotel in Bucharest and for decades one of the tallest buildings in the city (architects Dinu Hariton, Gheorghe Nădrag, Ion Moscu and Romeo Belea). It has a distinctive curved façade and was the city's first building with a monolithic reinforced-concrete frame.

Высотная гостиница на Университетской площади — первый небоскрёб-отель Бухареста и одно из самых высоких зданий города на десятилетия (арх. Дину Харитон, Георге Нэдраг, Ион Моску, Ромео Беля). Характерный изогнутый фасад; первая в городе постройка с монолитным железобетонным каркасом.

Construction cost

6 000 000 долл. США, 1971 prices

Multiple credible sources consistently state the construction cost as $6 million USD. The historia.ro article traces the figure to a New York Times announcement from November 1967 and a calculation by the hotel's first director Gheorghe Leonte (~$15,000 per room × 400 rooms). Corroborated by adevarul.ro ("Costurile de construcție s-au ridicat la șase milioane de dolari"), business-review.eu ("initial investment in the hotel was USD 6 million"), and amazingbucharest.com ("cost over six million dollars to build"). Year set to 1971 (completion/opening year).
