New five-star property in Sinaia combines alpine design, wellness and direct access to the Bucegi Mountains

Radisson Hotel Group has expanded its Romanian portfolio with the opening of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sinaia Cota 1400, a five-star mountain retreat in the Bucegi Mountains. Housed in a landmark building dating back to 1939, the 68-room hotel combines contemporary alpine hospitality with direct access to ski slopes, hiking trails and one of Romania’s most celebrated mountain destinations.

Historic landmark reimagined for modern travelers

Located at Cota 1400, adjacent to the cable car connecting the ski areas between Cota 1400 and Cota 2000, the hotel offers year-round access to outdoor activities while remaining within easy reach of Bucharest.

Nearby attractions include Peleș Castle, Sinaia Monastery, the historic Sinaia Casino and the cable car leading to the Bucegi Plateau, home to the famous Sphinx and Babele rock formations.

“Radisson Blu Hotel, Sinaia Cota 1400 marks an exciting addition to our growing portfolio in Romania and further strengthens the presence of Radisson Blu in Europe's most sought-after leisure destinations,” said Joep Peeters, Chief Operating Officer, Franchise, Radisson Hotel Group. “Bringing together the heritage of a landmark building with renowned alpine hospitality, direct access to the Bucegi Mountains and an outstanding wellness offering, the hotel is perfectly positioned to welcome guests seeking memorable mountain experiences throughout every season.”

Contemporary alpine design

The hotel features 68 rooms and suites, including an 89-square-metre Presidential Suite. Inspired by the surrounding mountain landscape, the interiors combine natural wood, stone, warm textures and earthy colours. Most accommodations offer panoramic mountain views, while selected rooms include private terraces overlooking the Bucegi Mountains.

Guests also benefit from complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and the premium amenities associated with the Radisson Blu brand.

Local cuisine and mountain-inspired hospitality

Dining is centred around COCON Restaurant, where Executive Chef Romică Harabagiu presents contemporary European cuisine prepared with locally sourced seasonal ingredients. The menu highlights premium grilled meats, freshwater fish and refined desserts, complemented by Romanian and international wines.

The TONIC Bar & Cigar Lounge offers coffees, aperitifs, cocktails and premium spirits in a relaxed setting overlooking the mountains. Later this year, STUDIO 1400 Après Ski & Terrace will open beside the cable car station, serving casual cuisine, cocktails and hosting seasonal entertainment throughout the winter.

Wellness at the heart of the experience

A key feature of the hotel is the 700-square-metre FORÊT KITSUNE Spa & Wellness, inspired by Japanese wellness traditions and the natural surroundings of the Bucegi Mountains.

Facilities include indoor and outdoor heated pools, saunas, a hammam, steam bath, saline room, hydrotherapy features, treatment rooms and spacious relaxation areas. Guests can also enjoy treatments using OSKIA skincare products alongside rituals inspired by alpine botanicals and Japanese wellness practices.

The property also features a Technogym-equipped fitness centre with a retractable glass roof and dedicated ski facilities with heated lockers and drying systems for winter sports equipment.

Meetings with a mountain backdrop

For business and private events, the hotel offers the SFINX Events Hall, a flexible 122-square-metre venue accommodating up to 126 guests. Equipped with integrated audiovisual technology, LED displays, high-speed Wi-Fi and adaptable layouts, it is designed for conferences, meetings, workshops and celebrations.

“Radisson Blu Hotel, Sinaia Cota 1400 is Romania's first internationally branded five-star mountain hotel at this altitude, surrounded by forests, mountain peaks and breathtaking views,” said Octavian Moldovan, General Manager of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sinaia Cota 1400. “It is a privilege to see this remarkable building, whose story began in 1939 under the patronage of the Royal House of Romania, thoughtfully restored for a new generation of travelers. We look forward to welcoming guests to experience the warmth of mountain hospitality, whether they come to explore the Bucegi Mountains, relax in our spa or simply enjoy time together in this special setting.”
