Hospitality group Accor announced on June 2 that it would open a new ibis Styles hotel in Făgăraș, a city about 66 km from Brasov in central Romania, in the third quarter of 2024. The group signed a franchise agreement with Leader D.G.S. Construct S.R.L. for this project.

ibis Styles Făgăraș Citadel will be the city’s first unit affiliated to an international chain. It will have 68 rooms, including family rooms and rooms for guests with disabilities, a ground floor social hub, welcome area, buffet counter for breakfast & snack display, as well as a multi-purpose seating area. The project also includes a meeting room and outdoor parking.

The hotel, located within walking distance from Făgăraș Citadel, the city’s main tourism attraction, will come to market after the major refurbishment of an existing property.

“The first hotel affiliated to an international hotel chain in our hometown will position Făgăraș on the international map of leisure, transit and business tourism,” said Făgăraș mayor Gheorghe Sucaciu.

Accor is a world-leading hospitality group consisting of more than 5,300 properties and 10,000 food and beverage venues in 110 countries. The group recently announced the opening of two new Mercure hotels in Romania - in Alba Iulia and Cozieni.
