The Hilton hotel in Cluj has 109 rooms, a conference room and a fitness center, and has so far employed 21 people.
Hilton officials have not provided information on the developer of the Cluj hotel, investment data or estimates on the turnover and on the occupancy rate of the new hotel.
On average the investment per room in a three-star hotel is estimated at EUR50,000, which means the total investment in the Hilton Hotel can be put at around EUR5 million.
“We have opened in Cluj-Napoca the first Romanian hotel of the Hampton by Hilton brand,” Andreea Balaj, hotel manager of Hampton by Hilton Cluj Napoca , told ZF Transilvania.
Giant Hilton is present in Romania through five-star hotel Athenee Palace Hilton in Bucharest (controlled by George Copos), Double Tree by Hilton Bucharest Unirii (formerly Bucharest City Hotel, controlled by Lebanese Raafat Sarieddine), DoubleTree by Hilton Oradea (held by Calipso company controlled by SIF Banat-Crisana), Hilton Sibiu (formerly Palace Resort & Spa of Nicolae Minea), with the latest addition being Hampton by Hilton in Cluj-Napoca.
