A story started 40 years ago, an enclave in the forest. A property open to everyone, but with exclusivity that is hard to come by. A family who was entrusted with it. Now it is your own retreat, the place that honours the forest and allows a connection with nature. This is HADAR.
To be able to ensure the confort we have all gotten used to, but in the middle of the forest, we have installed and perfected tens of systems. This is how we get the resources we need to function off-the-grid.
Since 1985.
In 1985 this location was especially chosen for building a hunting lodge for the communist leaders of the day. Set in the Carpathians, the place was perfect due to its population of bears and boar but also the positive energy that the area is known for.
After the fall of communism in 1989 the building continued to decay until 1998, when the property was bought by a private investor. In time, Hadar was rebuilt into what you see today, adding something new each year.
For 10 years, the chalet was only open on demand and unlisted. Many private and governement meetings took place here, with local and international special guests.
In 2013, the villa was integrated into the touristic circuit as Cabana Hadar Nature Resort. The first year in business was also the year it won the award “Best Guesthouse Run by a Family in Romania” at the Hotel Travel Leisure Gala.
The success of Hadar and the owners’ wish to continuously improve guest experience motivated the redecoration into a true luxury Chalet, similar to those found in the Alps. Open in 2015, Hadar Chalet now welcomes guests who love the quiet of the woods but the comfortable luxury of great accommodation.
Ten years since our launch, we continue to innovate and win awards in the field. In 2022, we opened the Zen Garden and fitness space and won the "Best Boutique Guesthouse" award for the fourth time at the TopHotel gala.
