'''Hotel FM''' is a [[Romanian people|Romanian]] band, formed in April 2005 by [[United Kingdom|British]] expatriate David Bryan and his friends Gabriel Băruţa and Alex Szűz. The band held concerts in several cities in Romania and Germany and launched a promotional CD in spring 2006.<ref name="HotelFM">{{cite web|url=http://hotelfm.ro/?page_id=8|title=About Hotel FM|publisher=HotelFM.ro|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110105075926/http://hotelfm.ro/?page_id=8|archive-date=2011-01-05}}</ref>

Founding member Bryan, who is lead singer, is originally from [[Newton Aycliffe]] in [[North East England]], where he worked as a binman before settling in Romania.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Eurovision dream over for former North-East binman|url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/9028684.eurovision-dream-former-north-east-binman/|access-date=2022-02-08|website=The Northern Echo|date=16 May 2011 |language=en}}</ref>

The Hotel FM story began in 2005, when the Romanian composer Gabriel Băruţa recruited a few musicians from his hometown Oradea to create a new sound, a modern pop-rock feel based on melody and innovation, specific to the songs he wrote.

Throughout the years, Hotel FM has comprised Nicolae Vedinaş (vocals, flute), Berek Szilard (vocals), Marius Pop (guitar), Vlady Săteanu (bass), Gabi Drăgan (drums) and Sanyi Zakar (guitar).

The band has played many concerts in cities of Romania and Germany and released a promotional CD in the spring of 2006.
