“We see immense potential in the Romanian market. With our strong resort value proposition, we are looking to develop hotels and resorts also in leisure destinations. This new and unique Radisson Blu resort in such a sought-after mountain destination is the perfect addition to our existing portfolio in Romania and will give our guests a great variety of options,” says David Jenkins, Vice President Business Development at Radisson Hotel Group.
The resort’s facilities will include an open-kitchen restaurant, an interior pool, a wellness and fitness centre as well as several conference rooms.
