Ceetrus, the developer of Cartier Coresi, Romania’s largest urban regeneration project, has opened the French group Qosmo Hotels’ first property in Brasov, a city of 255,000 residents in central Romania. The new hotel, named Qosmo Brasov, is developed on an area of over 129,000 square-feet, with a total investment amounting to $16 million U.S. dollars. The hotel will be managed by local partner Kronwell following an international selection process.
The four-star location is organized on nine floors, has 133 rooms (128 Standard Design and Superior Concept, 4 Signature Junior Suites and Qosmo Suite) and includes a restaurant (170 seats), a Cocktail Bar Studio with a capacity of 60 seats, two modular conference rooms with a maximum capacity of 600 seats and a casino. The new project in the Coresi district complements the functionalities already developed by Ceetrus Romania: retail (645,000 square-feet), residential (more than 2,200 apartments built together with Kasper Development) and office (645,000 square-feet) in partnership with Ascenta Management).
“The development of the Qosmo by Kronwell project is based on studies that have highlighted the city’s need for more four and five star accommodation options in the context of Brasov’s growing tourism industry,” said Tatian Diaconu, CEO Ceetrus Romania. “We have set ourselves the goal to complete with a consistent investment the eco-system of the best quality services, both for the city community and for those for whom Brasov is a destination. I welcome the strategy of the local authorities oriented towards a green and touristic Brasov, as well as the imminent opening of the airport, which will certainly add more value to the city and the whole region”
