Aro-Palace SA continues to invest in the Mercure Brasov Center project, the former Hotel Capitol, by signing a new contract dedicated to the execution of the mechanical installations related to the project. The hotel unit located at 19, Eroilor Boulevard is undergoing an extensive process of renovation and structural reconfiguration, in partnership with the Accor Group.
The new financial commitment amounts to EUR 2.1 million plus VAT. It complements the portfolio of contracts previously initialed for the project, which includes a EUR 3.17 million agreement for architectural works signed on November 25, 2025, and a EUR 3 million contract signed in September 2025 for construction and special facades. As the beneficiary, Aro-Palace SA has included in the contract specific clauses on guarantees of good workmanship and rectification of defects, protection of intellectual property rights, confidentiality and penalties applicable to the contractor in the event of culpable delays.
The project involves adapting the building to the current requirements for a three-star classification, and the hotel will have 179 rooms on floors 1-6. The works involve the consolidation and restoration of the facades with the preservation of the architectural plasticity, as well as structural modifications such as the removal of some ground floor and mezzanine buildings and the extension of the accommodation floors. The height regime will be modified from Basement + Ground + 6 Floors + Partial Technical Floor to Basement + Ground + 6 Floors + 6 Floors + 7th Floor, where a terrace will be installed. The maximum height of the building will remain unchanged at 31.6 meters and the footprint will be reduced by 42 square meters.
