The Royal Family of Romania has put the “Furnica” Hotel in Sinaia up for sale, an iconic historic building valued at EUR 3.7 million. The property, an integral part of the Peleș Royal Estate heritage, represents an investment opportunity to bring a historic monument of national importance back into the tourism circuit.
According to data published by Profit.ro, the decision to sell was officially communicated to the authorities by Her Majesty Margareta, alongside Princess Elena, Irina Walker, Princess Sofia, and Princess Maria. The property includes a historic building, currently preserved, and an adjacent land plot of approximately 5,106 square meters. The Ministry of Culture has already notified the non-exercise of its pre-emption right, with the procedure being transferred to the Prahova County Council and the Sinaia Town Hall, and county councilors are set to debate the relevant draft decision on Thursday.
Inaugurated in 1912, the building was designed by architect Karel Liman as an annex of the Peleș Estate, housing the laundry, stables for 24 horses, and about 40 rooms for technical staff and servants. The “Furnica” Hotel is classified as a class AAA historical architectural monument, being one of the most valuable constructions in the mountainous area of Prahova County.
