Sixth Best Western to open in Cluj

Topaz Hotel in Cluj-Napoca could become the sixth Best Western affiliated hotel in Romania this year, sources close to the contract say. Best Western and Topaz officials did not care to comment. Topaz’s co-owner Sorin Radoi specified they were in talks with the officials of an international hotel chain. The plans to become part of an international hotel chain can be explained by the attempt to gain one more market segment, that is the clients looking for certain standards, as specified by Radoi. He added the hotel had undergone expansion works last year, so that it had come to have 49 rooms instead of the previous 28. The expansion investments were worth more than one million dollars. The total investment since the opening of the hotel more than ten years ago, was in excess of four million dollars, Sorin Radoi, Topaz general manager and co-owner said. ZF
