HR Group, the company owned by businessman Ruslan Husry—one of the largest hotel owners in Germany—is entering the Romanian hotel market by acquiring the four-star Vienna House Easy Airport Bucharest hotel, formerly known as Angelo, located near Otopeni Airport. The acquisition follows a transaction with the Austrian company Vienna House Capital and the Thai company U City PCL.
HR Group, founded by businessman Ruslan Husry in 2008 and fully owned by him, has grown to over 145 hotels with approximately 25,000 rooms across 10 countries after purchasing all Vienna House properties from Vienna House Capital and U City.
In 2017, when the Austro-Thai owners of Vienna House purchased eight hotels—representing half of the real estate portfolio of the Austrian group Warimpex, including the Romanian hotel Angelo—the transaction was estimated at approximately 180 million EUR.
In parallel with this transaction, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel company by number of affiliated units, paid HR Group 44 million EUR for the acquisition of the Vienna House brand, which includes 40 hotels with over 6,000 rooms.
Following the acquisition, Vienna House hotels have been rebranded as Vienna House by Wyndham. The property in Otopeni is now named Vienna House Easy by Wyndham Bucharest Airport. The Romanian hotel features 177 rooms and 4 conference rooms, and was inaugurated in 2001. It underwent its first renovation and expansion in 2008, followed by another renovation process in 2019, which cost 1.7 million EUR.
As a multi-brand operator, HR Group maintains partnerships with major hotel groups such as Accor, Wyndham, Dorint Hotels & Resorts, Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, and Deutsche Hospitality.
