"I am delighted to have joined the Crowne Plaza Bucharest at such an exciting time for the hotel. The hotel has undergone extensive refurbishment and investment is continuing to include the fitness, pool area and conference rooms. The Crowne Plaza is well positioned for both business travelers, who value proximity to the airport and an environment with outside green space, perfect for relaxing or organizing large open air events, and leisure travelers who appreciate an affordable alternative to the more expensive hotels downtown. For the local market, we are working on new, exciting and innovative food and beverage concepts both within and outside the hotel, as we are looking to take our outside catering services to another level. I am pleased to be here, I love Bucharest and look forward to leading the team and continuing to develop this incredible hotel to become number 1 in its market by the end of 2015!"
