Local entrepreneur Stefan Mandachi developed a modern hospitality centre that involved EUR 7 million worth of investments in the north-eastern Romania city of Suceava.

He plans to launch a franchise based on the hotel’s blueprints, under which franchisees can replicate the entire hotel or only part of it: the restaurant, the coffee-shop that includes a library or the bio spa.

The hotel has 90 rooms awarded four stars and six luxury apartments awarded five stars.

Mandachi Hotel & Spa became a member of the largest franchise platform in Romania, www.francizelacheie.ro, that offers several businesses: Magnificus Plaza (a network of event rooms), Spartan (restaurant chain), Hercules (tavern-like restaurants) and Baba Cloanta (the first franchise in Romania that sells burgers cooked on the hob). Erichman, a chain of building material, finishing and fitting shops with 20 years of experience on the market, is another member of the platform.

New hotel openings will create over 1,500 new jobs in Romania’s hospitality industry
