The opening brings Accor’s Romanian portfolio to 25 hotels and reflects the group’s continued focus on expanding its midscale offering in key urban locations.
The hotel is owned by Sab Serv Expres SRL, a Bucharest-based company controlled by Star Priority Holding SRL, and targets both business and leisure travellers.
The property has 40 rooms, including Privilege rooms and units adapted for guests with reduced mobility, as well as a small meeting room designed for business meetings and private events. Day-to-day operations are managed locally, under the coordination of the hotel’s general management team.
“Mercure Bucharest Cantemir is a strong example of how our brand continues to evolve, with the spirit of the place reflected in every detail of the guest experience. The hotel highlights the city’s history while offering modern facilities and serves as an ideal starting point for discovering Bucharest,” said Vincent Moskovtchenko, Vice President Operational Marketing Midscale Brands – Europe & North Africa, Accor.
Mercure Bucharest Cantemir positions itself as a design-led, city-centre hotel, with interiors inspired by the street art scene of Dimitrie Cantemir Boulevard. The Neo-Memphis concept was developed by architect Claudia Voinea-Fantana of Important IMP studio and is reflected across public spaces and guest rooms through bold colors, geometric forms, and contemporary materials.
“Partnering with Accor has allowed us to combine our local passion with their global expertise. This collaboration was essential in bringing the project to life and ensuring high-quality standards for our guests. This property brings new value to the local market and strengthens our city’s hospitality offer,” said Carmen Ion, Owner, Sab Serv Expres S.R.L.
The hotel includes Restaurant Cantemir, an all-day dining venue with a menu inspired by interwar Bucharest cuisine, reinterpreted using modern techniques, as well as a bar open to both hotel guests and the local community.
