“We upgraded the two and three-star rooms to four-star level of comfort. Guests can now find tablets in their rooms to access all amenities (…), we plan on introducing a feature to unlock the doors with the phone. The refurbishment took one year, and we paid for the investment with our own money. We will now be refurbishing five conference rooms of the 14 and revamping the lobby,” Octavian Lazar told ZF.

Caro Hotels has a capacity of 188 rooms and ended last year with EUR5 million revenue. The Lazar family owns the majority stake in Caro complex, developed as of 1999, over 60%, while a French partner owns about 30% and some other shareholders hold the rest.
