The Corinthia Grand Hotel du Boulevard in Bucharest has a hidden history involving a failed assassination plot against King Carol II in 1934. A group of Romanian officers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Precup, planned to attack the royal convoy during Easter services. The plot was foiled before execution, leading to arrests and a trial. Precup, initially a supporter of the king, turned against him due to dissatisfaction with his influence. The hotel itself has a rich history, having served various roles since its establishment in the late 19th century, and has recently been restored to its former glory as a luxury hotel.
