It will be the first international brand located at the highest altitude in Romania.
The project aims to transform a historic monument building from 1939, previously under the patronage of the Royal House, into a luxury unit that blends traditional architecture with modern hospitality standards.
The hotel will feature 68 rooms, including six junior suites and two presidential suites, alongside facilities such as restaurants, conference areas, spa, indoor pool, a heated outdoor pool, and ski-in/ski-out access. Management will be provided by Premier Hospitality, a company led by Lucian Marinescu and Calin Ile, which also holds an independent operator license for Marriott International in Europe. Octavian Moldovan, appointed General Manager, stated that the objective is to transform the hotel into the most sought-after mountain destination for relaxation, well-being, and corporate events in all seasons.
David Jenkins, Vice President at Radisson Hotel Group, stated that signing this partnership reflects the group’s strategy to develop distinctive products in key locations alongside local partners who understand market opportunities. Premier Hospitality recently expanded its operations by taking over the Ramada Sibiu hotel under a 20-year lease contract, while Radisson also introduced the Radisson Individuals brand to the local market.
The hotel owner is the company Hotel Cota 1400 SRL, held by Radu Popoiu (Next Energy Partners). According to data from the Listafirme.ro platform, the company recorded zero turnover in 2024 and losses amounting to approximately EUR88.15 million. Radisson Hotel Group operates a global portfolio of over 1,580 hotels across 100 countries.
