The Mansion Hotel Bucharest

The Mansion Boutique Hotel is located in the Old Town of Bucharest, the most vibrant and full-of-life place where the antique and the new blend harmoniously and vintage decor keep hidden the history of the Old Capital.

This place rich of stories convinced us to find out more about The Mansion’s building and, therefore, we found out that Alexander Protopopescu lived here, well known architect in the years 1850-1870. He used the property as a commercial center, on the ground floor he had a store of furs and hats, whilst also running a hotel upstairs.

Protopopescu was a close friend of the royal house and it was rumored that even King Carol I came to visit his architect friend, discreetly participating at a few balls and parties organized here. The small hotel further accommodated treasurers of the Belgian Royal House, ruled at the time by Leopold I, and also the family members of Prince Florestan of Monaco.

Today the place is entirely restored, the old hotel is “dressed” in new clothes, but it kept the noble air of past times. We turned the place into a friendly pension, a comfortable and pervious place, perfect for those who want to combine the fun from The Old Town with business meetings.

At the entrance you can find Il Peccato, a famous italian restaurant with years of years of tradition in the Old Town, and upstairs we have reinterpreted the concept of personalized bedrooms. Thus, each room now has its own origin, its story, energy and uniqueness.

Hence, we invite you to The Mansion Boutique Hotel where history and modern life, past and present, meet in a perfect elliptical frame, right in the center of Bucharest.

THE EXPERIENCE
The Old Town, probably the most notorious place in Bucharest at the moment, stubbornly hangs on to its antique touch and eventful history. Today however, for Romanians and tourists alike, it is the heart of the city’s nightlife. In the past, Strada Franceză (i.e. “The French Street”), has been as vibrant and renowned as it is today.

Back in the past, since 1700, the Old Town was a meeting place for merchants worldwide. Romanians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, Serbians, Turks and even Austrians have opened here numerous bazaars, inns or tailors. Most often, at the ground floor were shops with large windows, and above them lived the merchants.

Strada Franceză, together with Lipscani, Şelari and Gabroveni, is one of the liveliest streets in the Old Town, and it has been in the past as popular as it is today. It was the first street paved with cobblestones, brought all the way from Scotland in 1860, and back then, the street was named Işlicarilor. The name was acquired from “işlicuri”, the kind of hats worn by lords and great boyars of those times.

The name of this street dates back to 1798 when here was the Consulate of France, but its name has changed several times: it was called the Street of the Royal because it connected the Old Court (the first Royal Court of Bucharest) and Bridge Mogosoaia, then Street Carol I, after he was elected ruler, and subsequently Maniu Street.

Today Strada Franceză is a place of entertainment, nightlife and stories. Here you also can find The Mansion, the chic and modern boutique hotel that preserved history and combined it with Romanian and international architecture.
