Continental Hotels has reopened the Continental Forum Oradea following a major renovation project worth over EUR 4 million. The upgrade marks a full transformation of the hotel, repositioning it as a key player in the city’s four-star segment, the company said.

The works, carried out between November 2024 and April 2026, included a complete overhaul of the hotel’s 168 rooms, as well as upgrades to technical infrastructure and common areas. The average investment per room reached around EUR 24,000.

Rooms were fully reconfigured to meet modern comfort standards, with renovated bathrooms, new fire-resistant doors, upgraded access systems, and updated furnishings, including smart TVs and modern lighting. Public areas were also redesigned.

The project also included major upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and climate systems, as well as modernized fire safety installations and a full overhaul of IT and communication networks.

Located on the banks of the Crișul Repede river, the hotel is positioned to attract both business and leisure travelers, the company said.
