This agreement will grow and consolidate Accor network in south-western Romania, a key market for the group in the Eastern Europe region.” – says Maria Drăgulin, Accor Development Director for Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and the Czech Republic.

There are so many valuable experiences we can offer to travelers from Romania and abroad and so many untapped opportunities when it comes to promoting our destination”, stated Sacha Dragic, main investor and partner of the project.
We chose to join hands with a leading international hospitality group such as Accor, to offer our visitors a world-class hotel and professional services to go with it. Also, we did it to connect our hotel to one of the largest marketing and distribution networks worldwide and to make it visible to travelers from all corners of the globe, planning to even develop further the hospitality on the Danube River.” adds Eduard Koler, investor and representative of Queens Horeca Management, as partner of the project.
Through the Mercure brand, Accor promises a completely new hotel experience. Each facility has its own unique style and personality inspired by the local environment and culture. According to the brand's DNA, Mercure hotels are rooted in their local community, providing full experience of authenticity of the region, with its cuisine, crafts, and traditions. In 2019, Mercure launched its new brand program: Discover Local. Its aim is to give travelers the opportunity to discover the region they are visiting in a totally authentic way and from three perspectives: food, wine & beverages, and craftsmanship. As such, Mercure offers a completely different way of exploring the world and the diversity of a region with passion, enthusiasm, and ease.
