The Pavăl brothers, owners of Dedeman Bacău, intend to acquire the Grand Hotel in Gardone, located on the shores of Lake Garda in northern Italy. Pavăl Holding and Apex Alliance have entered the final phase of negotiations.
The new owners plan to reopen the hotel in June and conclude the current season before undertaking major renovations to upgrade the hotel to five-star status.
The hotel, which opened its doors in 1884, is currently closed. The building features 167 rooms, and its facade directly faces Lake Garda.
This marks the Pavăl brothers’ first publicly announced international acquisition and their entry into a new segment: hospitality.
