Karisma Hotels & Resorts has opened the Allure Caramel, by Karisma in Belgrade, Serbia. The opening marks Allure Hotels’ first property in Europe and the third property within the brand’s emerging portfolio of boutique city hotels.
Formerly the Hotel Admiral Club Belgrade, the Allure Caramel combines a rich heritage, historic charm, and classic style with modern comforts. The city’s former mayor, Vlada Ilic, originally built the property in 1927, and it was most recently the location of filming for The November Man.
Allure Caramel presents a style influenced by the Russian Empire, French Empire, and Italian Baroque architecture. Reminiscent of a medieval castle, the hotel’s ceremonial entrance is adorned with classic columns, ionic capitals, balustrades in wrought iron, tile ornamentation windows, and ensembles by sculptor Zivojin Lukic. Suites feature antique pieces, including ornaments and beds.
Karisma Hotels & Resorts will open some five Allure Hotels over the next five years as well as new beach properties in the Caribbean and Europe, beginning with Azul Sensatori Jamaica, which opened late last year and is already undergoing expansion. The plan will continue to unfold in Europe with additional hotels in Croatia, Slovenia, and northern Italy, operated under the brand Karisma Hotels Adriatic.
