Continental Hotels Group has completed an essential stage in the modernization of the Continental Forum Oradea hotel, following an investment of approximately €4 million. This stage is part of a broader strategy to consolidate the group’s presence in the western part of the country, aiming to align assets with current comfort standards and increase competitiveness in the corporate and urban leisure segments.
The renovation process included the reconfiguration of the hotel’s 168 rooms, with an average cost of approximately €24,000 per unit. The modernization targeted both aesthetic and functional aspects, through the complete renovation of bathrooms, furnishing with new furniture, smart TVs, and the implementation of modern safety systems, including fire-resistant doors. At the same time, the investment targeted the technical infrastructure and the food & beverage area, where professional equipment was introduced to streamline workflows. Although the hotel has reopened, the execution schedule indicates that certain secondary works could continue until 2026.
Continental Hotels, an operator with over three decades of experience on the local market, currently manages 12 accommodation units in Romania, totaling over 1,700 rooms under brands such as Grand Hotel Continental, Continental Forum, MyContinental, and Hello Hotels. The reopening of the Oradea unit highlights the operator’s preference for reinvesting in existing properties as a strategic alternative to greenfield projects, in a context marked by the need to optimize costs and operational performance.
