The hotels to open next year are Ibis Styles Brasov, Corinthia Bucharest, Adagio and Tribe Bucharest, DoubleTree by Hilton Brasov and Autograph Collection by Marriott Arad. The opening of some of these hotels will be a first for the local hotel market.

Only 4% of the local hotels are affiliated to an international brand, which is really low compared with other countries in the region. Only Bulgaria and Slovakia are worse in tis respect than Romania. The affiliation potential of local hotels in Romania is low, as well, since only 25% have the potential to be affiliated to an international hotel brand because they have more than 70 rooms, which is the minimum required for international affiliation.
