Romanian investors Ramona and Razvan Neamtu will open the second Radisson Blu hotel in Romania, in the mountain city of Brasov.

Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group and Tresor Com, a company controlled by the Neamtu family, signed the franchise contract for developing and operating the first Radisson Blu hotel in Transylvania, on November 2, according to a press release quoted by local Economica.net.

The hotel will be located in Brasov’s historic center, across the street from the city’s central park. Tresor Com will develop the hotel in a building that it bought in 2015 from telecom operator Telekom Romania. The investment will amount to EUR 10 million and the hotel may be inaugurated in the first half of 2018.

The hotel will have 105 rooms, restaurants, conference rooms, and a SPA & fitness center.

Ramona Neamtu is the daughter of Romanian investor Emil Morariu, one of the former owners of the Bere Mures beer factory, which was bought by Dutch group Heineken in 2008. Morariu’s other daughter, Adina Plopeanu, owns the Privo Hotel in Targu Mures.

Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group operates the five-star Radisson Blu hotel in downtown Bucharest, which is owned by Israeli group Elbit Imaging. The group also operates a Park Inn four-star apart-hotel in the same location.
