International hotel group Accor, which currently operates 24 hotels in Romania, is preparing for a large-scale recruitment initiative as part of its continued expansion. The company hosted Career Day on 16 November in Bucharest, an interactive event designed for individuals interested in pursuing a career in hospitality.
The initiative aligns with Accor’s development strategy in Romania, where the group plans to open 17 new hotels by 2027. Over the next two years, Accor aims to hire around 500 new employees for a wide range of operational and management roles.

At present, hotels affiliated with the group employ more than 1,000 people in Romania.
“Romania is an extremely promising market for hospitality, which is why we continue to invest here. At the same time, there is a real gap between the limited number of specialized educational institutions and the industry’s need for qualified staff. As a global leader in hospitality, Accor is committed to training, supporting and inspiring new generations of professionals,” said Felicia Dincă, People & Culture Manager – Accor Romania & South-Eastern Europe. She emphasized that continuous training, a development-oriented organizational culture and strong community engagement are key pillars of the group’s approach.
Career Day will give participants the opportunity to discover the variety of career paths available in hospitality and to better understand the day-to-day realities of the sector.
Accor is a world-renowned hospitality group with operations in more than 110 countries, spanning 5,700 hotels, 10,000 restaurants and bars, as well as wellness facilities and flexible workspaces. Its ecosystem includes over 45 hotel brands, from luxury to economy and lifestyle, via Ennismore.
