Radisson has officially launched its first Individuals-branded hotel in western Romania with the opening of Hotel Galaxy Timișoara.
The 48-room lifestyle property is situated on Gheorghe Lazar Street in the city’s Baroque old town. The opening comes as Timișoara experiences increased international visitor interest following its status as a European Capital of Culture 2023.
The hotel includes 45 rooms and three premium apartments designed for extended stays. Facilities feature the Essenza Restaurant and Essenza Brasserie, a lobby bar with an outdoor terrace, meeting spaces, a fitness center, a spa, and a rooftop jacuzzi.
Transport links connect the property to Timișoara International Airport, which is a 20-minute drive away, and the central railway station, located seven minutes from the hotel. Union Square and the National Opera are 10 minutes away by car.
Joep Peeters, chief operating officer of franchise EMEA at Radisson, said: “Timișoara is one of Central Europe’s most captivating cities, rich in heritage, culturally vibrant, and increasingly gaining recognition on the international stage. Hotel Galaxy perfectly reflects what Radisson Individuals was created for, distinctive hotels with their own identity, rooted in destinations with stories worth discovering.
“We are delighted to welcome the hotel to our growing portfolio, marking the brand’s debut in western Romania and introducing the city’s first internationally affiliated lifestyle hotel in the historic old town center.”
Andreea Otescu, general manager at Hotel Galaxy Timișoara, added: “Timișoara has always deserved a hotel that matches its ambition, a place that reflects the city’s creativity, its cultural depth, and its confidence as a destination on the rise.
“Hotel Galaxy Timișoara, a member of Radisson Individuals, is that hotel. We are proud to join the Radisson Individuals family, and delighted to offer our guests a stay that feels genuinely rooted in one of Romania’s most extraordinary cities.”
