Recently, the world number 2 in the WTA rankings purchased a four-star hotel right at the entrance to Poiana Bra\u0219ov, as well as a hotel located in the city of Bra\u0219ov. The guesthouse is a spectacular property, steeped in history. It is an exclusive location due to the limited number of rooms, yet accessible for those wishing to stay in a place rich with historical significance.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>George Copos, Gic\u0103 Hagi, or Gigi Becali are just a few of the prominent names in sports who have also become known for their hospitality businesses. Simona Halep has now joined them after acquiring a guesthouse in Poiana Bra\u0219ov. This is a small property with only 24 rooms, but its value is derived not from its size, but from the spectacular interior design. The property in question is a veritable exhibition of medieval objects, elevating every room to the level of medieval art. Naturally, the view is equally spectacular.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The best rooms overlook the Post\u0103varu Massif and the Piatra Craiului mountains. As for prices, these can reach up to 100 euros per person, per night. At the same time, Simona Halep also acquired a hotel in the city of Bra\u0219ov, operating under the same name as the guesthouse, located in a building constructed in the 19th century. The amount paid was 2 million euros.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The brand acquired by Simona Halep is Drachenhaus Hotel, and it is registered under the name Ioana Toth Sole Proprietorship. According to public information from the Ministry of Finance, this company has no financial statements on record. The only additional information is that Ioana Toth also owns a caf\u00e9 in Bra\u0219ov&#8217;s Old Town and is a partner in the Solar Business Project company in Chichi\u0219, Covasna County.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Simona Halep&#8217;s rise has been meteoric; she played her first WTA final in 2010, and two years later, she entered the Top 50 best players in the world. In 2013, she received the &ldquo;WTA&rsquo;s Most Improved Player&rdquo; distinction, the first Romanian player to receive this title since 1978, when Virginia Ruzici achieved the same feat. In 2014, Halep climbed to world number 3 in the WTA, and she is currently world number two. Following her sporting performances over these years, Simona Halep has accumulated an estimated fortune of 19 million dollars.<\/div>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.media.imopedia.ro\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">Imopedia\/Media<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What hotels did Simona Halep purchase?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The athlete acquired the Drachenhaus Hotel brand, which includes a 4-star guesthouse in Poiana Bra\u0219ov and a 19th-century hotel in the city of Bra\u0219ov.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much did Simona Halep invest in these properties?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total investment for the acquisition of these hospitality properties was approximately 2 million euros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Simona Halep&#8217;s estimated net worth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following her professional tennis career achievements, Halep&#8217;s fortune is estimated at approximately 19 million dollars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simona Halep has followed the business model adopted by other high-profile athletes: investing in hotels.
