The Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel in Arad will most likely open in the third quarter of 2026.
It was initially expected to open in the first half of 2024.
Responsible for the realization of the project is the Arsat group from Arad, led by the Ghinea family, with activities in industry and agriculture.
The partnership with Marriott was finalized recently, according to Andrei Ghinea, owner of the Arsat group.
The next step is to obtain the building permit, expected in August-September, after which the actual works will start.
The Hotel Parc area would be completely transformed by the two projects of the Arsat group.
The “Little Park” will be redeveloped as a boutique hotel under the Marriott brand, while the former Hotel Parc will be converted into a modern hotel complex with various related services.
The Arsat group has also invested in the rehabilitation and refurbishment of the Old Casino in Arad, while preserving its historical charm.
The hotel is part of the mixed project Drăgălina 25/27.
The project includes several buildings, including the first Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel outside Bucharest, two class A office buildings and a leisure area with restaurants on the banks of the Mures river.
There will also be an events and exhibition center that will operate in the old Arad Casino building.
