In Romania, Sunday 8 November 2026 is the feast of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. For anyone named Mihai, Mihaela, Gabriel or Gabriela, it’s also a name day. You probably already have an idea of what your loved one would enjoy. Perhaps your mum has been hoping for an afternoon together, or the friend who always books the table would love it if you made the plans this time. Here are five ways to wish them “La mulți ani!”
1. An ANA Hotels gift voucher
For someone who dreams of the mountains one day and the seaside the next, a voucher gives those plans time to take shape. Choose a value from 250 to 2,000 lei and they can put it towards a stay, a meal or a spa visit at a participating location, booked in advance. The voucher arrives by email and is valid for 12 months. Add a personal note for them to open on Sunday.

2. A day at ANA Spa Collection
If you’ve been meaning to spend an afternoon together, start by choosing the setting. In Bucharest, the pool at ANA Spa at Crowne Plaza Bucharest looks out onto a pine garden. For a day in the city centre, round off your walk with a swim and a sauna at the InterContinental Athénée Palace spa. In the mountains, there’s an indoor pool at ANA Spa at Ana Hotels Sport Poiana Brașov. And for someone who loves the sea, ANA Health Spa at Ana Hotels Europa Eforie Nord offers treatments with salt water and mud from Lake Techirghiol.

3. Dinner at Panoramic Restaurant in Brașov
For someone who loves Brașov, the surprise begins at the foot of Mount Tâmpa. Take the cable car up to Panoramic Restaurant and see if you can spot the streets you walked along on your way there. At 960 metres, you can enjoy an à la carte dinner with the city spread out below. When you book your table, check the time of the last cable car down.

4. A relaxation massage at ANA Spa Collection
Think of the friend who always looks after everyone else. At ANA Spa at Ana Hotels Sport Poiana Brașov, the 25-minute Stress Relief Massage focuses on the back and legs, a lovely way to round off a walk in the mountains. If they’d welcome a little longer to themselves, choose the 50- or 75-minute full-body massage. If another location is closer to home, browse the massage menus at ANA Spa at Crowne Plaza Bucharest, the spa at InterContinental Athénée Palace or ANA Health Spa at Ana Hotels Europa Eforie Nord.
