The project, which started in September 2018, entailed the refurbishment of the 144 rooms of Faget hotel, its reclassification from two stars to three stars and its rebranding to Ursina Ensana Health Spa Hotel, along with the last year’s decision of the operator to bring all the 26 spa units the company administers in Europe under the Ensana brand.
The Hungarian Group operates in Romania the hotels Sovata Health Spa Resort (four stars), Bradet Health Spa Resort (four stars) and Ursina Health Spa Hotel (three stars.
Some of the most significant investments carried out by the Hungarian Group over the last years targeted the refurbishment of the former Sovata hotel (EUR8 million) and the renovation of the Bradet hotel (nearly EUR7 million). Between 2003 and 2016, the Group had invested a total EUR27 million in hotels, per company officials.
The company Balneoclimaterica, on which the three hotels are registered, ended 2019 with a turnover of over RON48 million, versus RON45.7 million in 2018, and had over 55,000 tourists, company officials also said.
Sovata is home to the largest heliothermal lake in Europe, a place with naturally-occurring salt water.
