History

The building was built between 1928 and 1929 in the Baroque and Viennese Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style for the headquarters of the Schwäbische Bank (a consortium of local Swabian banks), designed by Székely László and Matthias Hubert. Later it was called the Central Pension. Between 1975 and 78, a new wing (facing Piața Victoriei) was added. After its renovation in 2008, it was opened as a 4-star hotel.
