Mercure Opens First Hotel in Romania
Mercure Hotels & Resorts has opened the Mercure Oradea, its first property in the city. The 90-room hotel is situated in the western part of Oradea, providing access to the historic city centre, the Oradea Arena and the city’s main business districts.
The project was developed with a €15M investment under a franchise agreement with local partner Grand Hotel West, a company with a background in hospitality and restaurant services in the city. The hotel is operated by Spark Hospitality, a hotel management company active in Romania and international markets, specialising in lifestyle hotels and resorts.
“The Mercure Oradea brings to life the brand’s ‘Locally Inspired’ promise and creates an authentic connection for guests with the city and its heritage,” said Małgorzata Kalinowska-Klimek, Vice President of Franchise Operations for Eastern Europe at Accor. “As our first hotel in Oradea, the new property marks an important step in strengthening our presence in Romania and raising the city’s profile among travellers from around the world. Its proximity to the border makes it an attractive destination for Hungarian visitors, where history, Art Nouveau architecture and a modern urban atmosphere meet.”
