5,000 hotel rooms in Bucharest

Bucharest has 46 hotels, with a total capacity of 4,962 rooms, with almost half of the units being ranked as three-stars, according to data provided by the Romanian Hotel Industry Federation (FIHR). “Existing hotels cover the demand for four and five-star hotel rooms and I do not think that this segment needs more newcomers. Instead, the one and two-star hotel segment needs to be further developed,” stated Mihai Rajnita, FIHR secretary general. The five five-star hotels include 1,326 rooms and have a market share of 26.7% of Bucharest. Intercontinental hotel comes first, with a 31.9% market share of the five-star segment. Next come Marriott Grand Hotel, with 30.3%, Athenee Palace Hilton Hotel with 20.5% and Crowne Plaza Flora Hotel, with 12.3%. The fifth position is held by Casa Capsa hotel, which was reopened this May. ZF
