Establishing partnerships with the most important corporate event planning agencies and travel agencies, so that the Stirbey Domain is included in cultural tourism circuits offered to foreign tourists as a complement to visits to the Village Museum, the Historic Center, or the Palace of the Parliament; renting out the palace apartments on a hotel basis; entering the children’s party niche; and attracting new festivals, such as Summer Well and Zurlandia, are some of the plans of the Stirbey Domain administrator in Buftea, which recently entered insolvency, to return to the market.
In 2007, the Domain was purchased from the heirs of the Stirbey family for EUR 9 million by the company Bucharest Arena, which recently entered insolvency with total debts of RON 100 million.
The new owners intended to transform the palace into an exclusive hotel, a project later abandoned. At the same time, they tried to sell the building several times, but without success.
The domain includes the palace and the 24-hectare park.
Establishing partnerships with the most important corporate event planning agencies, so that the Stirbey Domain is the first choice when selecting a location, is another objective. The conclusion of partnerships with travel agencies is also being prepared to include the Stirbey Domain in cultural tourism circuits by selling services aimed at foreign tourists and beyond.
The packages will also include catering services within a timeframe of approximately 2 hours. These packages will complement visits to: the Village Museum, the Historic Center, or the Palace of the Parliament.
Setting up the available apartments and rooms in the Stirbey Palace, which will be rented on a hotel basis to event participants, setting up spaces for children’s parties, and attracting new festivals given the success of the Summer Well and Zurlandia projects are other plans of the administrator.
