Transilvania Investments Alliance has completed a major portfolio restructuring transaction, acquiring an additional 10.25% stake in Aro Palace Bra\u0219ov from Winners First and, in exchange, selling a 69% stake in Turism Lotus Felix to the same entity. Following this interdependent transaction, Transilvania Investments consolidates its control over Aro Palace, reaching a 95% stake, while Winners First becomes the majority shareholder of the five-star hotel operator in B\u0103ile Felix.<\/p>\n
The transaction is part of Transilvania Investments’ exit strategy, approved in October 2025, which aims to restructure 29 historical holdings between 2024 and 2028. By divesting the shares in Turism Lotus Felix, control of the operator of the Lotus Therm Spa & Luxury Resort hotel goes to Winners First, a company that also manages the Radisson Blu hotel in Cluj-Napoca. In parallel, increasing the shareholding in Aro Palace SA supports the project to transform the hotel in Bra\u0219ov into Hyatt Regency Aro Palace Bra\u0219ov, a 250-room and suite property scheduled to officially open in 2027, under a franchise agreement signed in October 2024.<\/p>\n
The portfolio optimization process generated over EUR 2.28 million in liquidity for Transilvania Investments in the first months of 2026 from share sales and EUR 6 million from asset monetization. For the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a net profit of EUR 1.79 million and net revenues of EUR 3.8 million. Marius Moldovan, Executive President, stated that 2026 requires a prudent and disciplined approach, prioritizing portfolio quality and financial stability in the face of early-year challenges.<\/p>\n
