Doctor Gavrilaș Mureșan, owner of the Sanovil medical group in Bistrița, has acquired Hotel Decebal in the city center for approximately 900 thousand EUR. The transaction, confirmed for Bistrița Business by real estate market sources, will be followed by a modernization and expansion project for the accommodation facility, with an estimated budget of 2-3 million EUR.
The former owner, Complex Decebal SRL – owned by Floarea Chita (32.96%), Mircea David (24.14%), Ioan Titieni (17.04%), Smaranda Berbecar (13.75%), and Mihai Berbecar (12.11%) – put the hotel up for sale in 2024 at an asking price of 1.5 million EUR, with the amount decreasing following negotiations. There is a discrepancy regarding the timeline of the transaction, with sources mentioning that it was completed in January 2026, while the owner’s statements place the acquisition at the end of last year. The buyer already owns over 60% of the neighboring commercial space, Hala Decebal.
The two-star property is located near Decebal Market and houses event spaces with capacities between 15 and 240 seats, part of the building being rented by the retailer PROFI. Regarding the current accommodation capacity, the data presents another discrepancy: the first source mentions 28 rooms (54 beds), while the new owner specifies the existence of 23 rooms.
Investment plans provide for extending the hotel to 40 rooms by adding a new wing, reclassifying it to three or four stars, and setting up a restaurant. Although the commercial function of accommodation and public catering will be preserved, the hotel will support the activity of the Sanovil hospital, offering accommodation options for patients’ families. Modernization work could begin at the end of next year.
