Hotel Lux Garden in Azuga, Romania, runs a conference center with two meeting rooms, Sorica and Cazacu, and 50 bedrooms on site. It is a five-star mountain hotel in the Prahova Valley, next to the lower gondola station, about 140 km from Bucharest and 30 km from Brasov.
Seminars and company events
The hotel's events page presents the conference center as the place for business meetings. It has two rooms, Sorica and Cazacu, equipped for corporate events: a simultaneous interpretation booth, flipchart, video projector and screens, air conditioning, a sound system, a laptop and high-speed internet access. The interpretation booth is worth noting for an international group, since few hotels of this size list one.
The site does not publish seating capacities or room sizes for either room. Ask the hotel for the maximum in theatre, classroom and boardroom layouts before choosing between them. Offers are personalized, so the program, the rooms and the accommodation are quoted together.
Rooms and capacities
Two meeting rooms are named on the official site: Sorica and Cazacu, both part of the conference center. They share the same list of equipment. Both names are also those of ski slopes in Azuga.
Accommodation
The hotel has 50 bedrooms. The site gives the split: 13 standard doubles with a double bed, 18 standard twin rooms, 8 superior doubles with a sofa bed, 3 executive doubles, 3 junior suites and 5 Lux Garden suites. A group of up to about 50 rooms can therefore sleep in the same building as the meeting rooms.
On the wellness side, the Garden SPA has a pool of roughly 25 square meters and 1.20 m deep, a steam sauna, a dry sauna and fitness equipment. It suits a free hour between sessions.
Catering
The restaurant is called The Lodge and serves Romanian and international dishes. The Amber Bar is a piano bar for the evening, and the terrace looks onto the Bucegi massif and serves desserts and drinks. The site does not describe set seminar menus, coffee breaks or private dinner formats, so these are agreed with the hotel.
History and setting
Azuga is a mountain resort at the foot of the Bucegi range, at 993 m altitude. It is known for the Sorica slope, described on the hotel's site as the first Romanian ski slope approved by the International Ski Federation. The hotel stands at the base of the slopes, a few steps from the gondola. Cycling routes on the forested ridges are another option for a team day. Bran Castle, often called Dracula's castle, is 30 km away.
Getting there
From Bucharest, take DN1 / E60 to the center of Azuga, turn right at the church and drive 2 km toward the ski slopes. The hotel is next to the gondola station. The distance is about 140 km from Bucharest and 30 km from Brasov.
