Here, you live side by side with these distinctive creatures. 19 elegantly rustic hotel rooms share space with the retreat’s impressive stable of Arabians. Just outside the capital city of Bucharest, this is not your typical ranch hotel. It’s no less than an Arabian horse sanctuary of world-renowned quality, and you sleep inside of it. In the morning, children gallop down the stairs to greet their favorite steeds. Parents take their first sip of coffee as the horses’ feeding, grooming, and training unfold before them. Guests are given all the time and access they need to bond with these animals and observe up close their daily routines. And yet, you need no equine obsession to want to visit. Singureni is a high-end rural escape that includes every manner of outdoor relaxation, all set in 2,000 acres of fenced-in forest. In mating season, the calls of local deer ring through the trees. In the pitch black of night, put on the hotel’s infrared binoculars and open your eyes. There’s a herd of hundreds before you. It’s a kind of boutique hotel fantasy. Like a person sat down to create their dream lodge, with all their favorite things, all in one place. Which is exactly what happened. This was until recently a private hunting lodge; its founders, the Stanescu family, decided to open it to the public after the pandemic. “They realized the impact the forest had on the children,” explains Adrian Adam, the executive manager. The kids were nine years old at that time. At their lodge in the forest, they miraculously forgot their electronics and played in the trees. In that moment, the parents realized the uniqueness of this “forest feeling.” They wanted to share it. In its short lifespan, Singureni has already become the go-to for anyone in Bucharest looking for an honest-to-god rural escape and a mix of the luxurious and the wild. Horses and hunting and dense forest exist alongside yoga and massage and gourmet fare served in fairy-tale igloos lit romantically among the trees. You can take a nap in a hammock between the trees, destress in the forest sauna, or a dip in the ciubar, the traditional outdoor jacuzzi. There’s also archery and e-bikes for rides through the wilderness. You don’t need to spend a second in the stables to have an extraordinary experience at Singureni. But the horses are the key to the hotel’s singularity." - Mitchell Friedman
"An hour into the countryside from Bucharest, set on more than 1500 acres of forest and parkland, is a place where rural living and luxury hospitality come together: Singureni Manor Equestrian Retreat. It’s not the only European hunting lodge to have evolved into a country hotel, but it may be the one that remains most dedicated to the traditions upon which it was founded — here you’ll find the deer and stags still roaming the forest, as well as an equestrian program that encompasses everything from casual rides to dressage lessons and Saturday afternoon Arabian horse shows." - Tablet Hotels
