Orbis Hotel Group, a strategic partner of AccorHotels, continues to expand in the Romanian hotel market by opening an ibis-branded hotel in Timisoara. The new hotel, which will have 200 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a bar, lounge, conference rooms, and its own parking, is scheduled to open in Q4 2020.
Orbis and its local partner and investor, Hotel Development S.A., have signed a management contract for an initial period of 15 years for the first ibis hotel in Timisoara.
“Orbis is the largest hotel group in Eastern Europe and, with the arrival of the ibis brand in Timisoara, we are further strengthening our leading position in Romania. I am convinced that the ibis brand, internationally known and appreciated, with Orbis’s regional support, will ensure excellent visibility for Timisoara as a tourist destination, and the hotel, thanks to the experience offered to guests, will contribute decisively to the quality of hospitality in the city,” stated Gilles Clavie, President and CEO of Orbis.
“We are happy to join the AccorHotels group by introducing the ibis brand to the Timisoara market, a brand with contemporary design, relaxing and vibrant social spaces, which will complement the current offering in the Timisoara hotel market,” stated Emil Cristescu, one of the shareholders of the company newly created for this project.
