“In the first half, the average occupancy rate stood at 76% and turnover rose by 3%. July was weaker, though, with a 10% decline, and for August I expect an over 70% occupancy rate, flat from last year,” Mirela Cojocaru, general manager of the hotel, told ZF.

The hotel has a 60-apartment accommodation capacity.

In line with the latest statistical data, Bucharest attracted 486,826 foreigners in January-June 2024, from 410,000 in the year-earlier period. Most of them come on business trips to Bucharest.

The company that manages the hotel ended 2023 with EUR1.9 million turnover, topping 2019 results.
