Accor is opening its first hotel in Alba Iulia, Romania. Dubbed Mercure Alba Iulia Cetate Hotel is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2024. The hotel will work in the framework of a franchise contract with a local investor part of Dentotal Group, a valued partner of Accor which already opened two hotels.
Mercure Alba Iulia Cetate will offer travelers 112 generous rooms and suites on three floors plus an attic, a dining restaurant of 282m² with external terrace, a 430m² banqueting area, a SPA, indoors and outdoors kids’ playground and external and internal parking. The new hotel will be located on Dimitrie Cantemir Street, only 3 minutes away from The Citadel and within walking distance from the major touristic landmarks such as the Orthodox Cathedral of the Reunification, the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the National Unification Museum. Its unique positioning – in the proximity of the city center, as well as the ring road – will support Mercure Alba Iulia Cetate in becoming an authentic urban retreat, a great destination for leisure travelers, as well as for corporate and private events.
“The announcement of the first hotel affiliated to an international network in Alba Iulia is a great proof of Accor’s commitment to bring high standards and the latest innovations in hospitality to Romania’s key tourism and business cities. Having a Mercure hotel on the map strengthens the attractiveness of the destination because it reassures both local and international guests that they will be enjoying the same quality services they are accustomed to across the world,” said Maria Dragulin, Accor Development Director for Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and the Czech Republic.
“Alba Iulia is an amazing city, with an impressive history, matched by a vibrant contemporary lifestyle. We are excited to be part of the city’s development and to contribute to its touristic offering, with a new international hotel. With this new collaboration, we are further strengthening our partnership with Accor Group, and reaffirming our trust in the Mercure brand, which we brought in Romania for the first time, in 2014,” commented Bogdan Dogariu, representative of Dentotal Group.
