The Makers to manage Orizont Hotel Predeal
The hotel consultancy and management firm The Makers has taken over the management of Hotel Orizont in Predeal
Hotel Orizont in Predeal, one of the best-known names among the resorts of the Prahova Valley, will be run by the hotel management consultancy “The Makers”. The company is owned by four shareholders: Dragoș Anastasiu (Eurolines Group), Dragoș Petrescu (CityGrill), Octavian Moldovan (hotelier) and Hildegard Brandl (UNITH2B Architects).
The contract was signed at the beginning of May and runs for three years with the option of extension, a period for which The Makers has appointed Ioan Şandor to lead the hotel, a repatriated Romanian manager with 20 years of experience in the global hotel industry.
Dragoș Anastasiu firmly believes that this hotel has the potential to return to the quality and fame that established it as “the pearl of the Prahova Valley”. “Beyond certain necessary investments, our concern is to improve the services offered to tourists by adapting and adjusting the mindset, as well as the skills, of the colleagues who interact with guests. We intend to reopen the Mioriţa Restaurant and turn it into the main destination sought by tourists in the Prahova Valley, to develop the hotel’s SPA appropriately, both for resident guests and for those staying in the surrounding area, and to do everything necessary for Hotel Orizont to be the first choice for all organisers of events (private or business) in the Prahova Valley and Braşov County. We have a professional team with great operational and management experience, alongside whom I am fully confident that within 1-2 years Hotel Orizont will reach its true potential”.
Hotel Orizont in Predeal, rated 4 stars and a landmark of the mountain resort, will come under the operation of the hotel management consultancy The Makers, owned by four shareholders, including Dragoș Petrescu, founder of City Grill, and Dragoș Anastasiu, president of Eurolines Group. The information, previously reported by Profit.ro, has now been officially confirmed. The contract was signed at the beginning of May and runs for three years with the option of extension, a period for which The Makers has appointed Ioan Șandor to lead the hotel, a repatriated Romanian manager with 20 years of experience in the global hotel industry. This will be the third hotel operated by The Makers. The hotel, which has 139 rooms, a SPA centre and two restaurants, was renovated in 2010 and is now the subject of a short- and medium-term investment plan.
