Report: Romania’s hospitality market dominated by 3-star hotels, premium segment underdeveloped

Romania’s hotel market is dominated by 3-star hotels, regardless of region, while the 5-star segment remains underdeveloped, except for Bucharest. Meanwhile, counties such as Cluj and Timiș offer growth prospects amid accelerated economic development and a still limited hotel stock, according to a CBRE report.

According to the report, Bucharest is becoming increasingly attractive to international tourists and prestigious hotel chains. In the first half of 2025, 134 hotels were operating in the capital, of which 34 were affiliated with international brands, and the total number of rooms had reached approximately 11,000, with a capacity of about 21,600 accommodation places.
