Four years ago, the most famous hotels in Galați, Dunărea and Galați hotels, changed their names upon joining Europe’s largest hotel group, Accor.
They are now called Ibis Styles Dunărea Galaţi and Mercure Galați Centrum. Everything has moved to the next level, from facilities, furnishings, and utilities, and Galați has entered the Accor group’s global map, reclaiming its status as a tourist city.
The transition to the franchise involved investments in modernizing the hotels and restaurants, equipping these spaces with the necessary facilities, but also in digitalizing all operations and connecting to the platforms operated by Accor across approximately 4,500 hotels in 110 countries worldwide, owned, franchised, or managed by the French group. A restructuring program for operational and support teams was also implemented, with the objective of mastering new work procedures and streamlining all internal workflows, including customer relations.
