Sustainability
At Mercure Conacul Cozieni, sustainability is not only about caring for a clean environment, but also about the cultural recovery of the past for the benefit of the community.
We practice sustainable tourism through the restoration of the historic Podgoreanu Mansion building and its return to the community, the valorisation of local gastronomic resources and the social responsibility programmes carried out globally by the ACCOR hotel chain of which we are part.
- Preserving architectural values and saving heritage;
- Reconditioning and recovering the original bricks used in the construction of the manor house to enclose the balconies;
- Integrating nature and authentic Romanian symbols into the project;
- Keeping the “archway” as a defining element.
