Year-in-year-out, Belgrade is getting more and more hotels. All indications show that the capital of Serbia has become a leading business and tourist centre in the region, which investors noticed too.
In less than half a year, five new hotels opened: Crowne Plaza, Jump Inn, 88 Rooms, Argo garni hotel and Majdan hotel. Each of them offers amenities specifically tailored for both old and new guests of Belgrade.
CROWNE PLAZA
First guests arrived at the building of the former Belgrade Intercontinental Hotel at the end of December 2013. The hotel now operates as part of the chain Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts. Following the tradition of the old hotel, which was visited by 33 million guests, including many big names of the international political, sports, art and show business scene, the Crowne Plaza is now writing the pages of a new history.
“We have excellent opportunities in all aspects of our offer: accommodation, conference and banquet space, spa and wellness centre, restaurants… The hotel is located in the heart of the business district; it is connected to the convention and cultural Sava Centre, and is only five minutes away from the old town centre. The space is designed to give a special effect of openness, wideness and reduced elegance,” Branka Petronijević, marketing coordinator of the hotel, said.
JUMP INN
Milan Spasojević, a successful businessman, Yugoslav Olympic athlete and Serbian champion in triple jump opened a hotel at Savamala borough – one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods. The hotel’s name “Jump Inn” is connected to Spasojević’s sporting career: the photos of world famous athletes adorn the hotel’s interior. After two years of work, a residential building from the early 20th century, which is a cultural heritage under state protection, was reconstructed.
“The play of light and sophisticated design give authenticity and warmth to our hotel, making it stand out from other Belgrade hotels falling in the same category. Rooms are not just a place for an overnight stay, but they have their own character, which will make your stay a true experience. Moreover, we proudly hold the title of a smart building,” Tatjana Cohergne, director of sales, says. The four-star Jump Inn has 49 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a bar and two conference rooms.
88 ROOMS
Serbian company MK Mountain Resort is well known to the public for its hotels at Kopaonik ski centre. It recently opened its first hotel in Belgrade at Takovska Street. The 88 Rooms Hotel is equipped by the standards of a four-star hotel and is intended for both business people and tourists. The young management’s motto “Ease of Living, Ease of Giving” sums up the vision of hospitality, “inspired by an uninhibited spirit of Belgrade”. An authentic offer is designed to meet the needs of guests as well as to present the well-known and hidden values of Belgrade, making the foundations for the business philosophy of the hotel’s management. In accordance with the set concept, a VIP concierge service is available 24 hours a day.
In a warm atmosphere and with an unobtrusive professionalism, the guests at the 88 Rooms Hotel will have at disposal a rooftop restaurant with a panoramic view of the city and the banks of the Danube, as well as conference and banquet halls.
ARGO HOTEL
Another Serbian hotel company, Mona Hotel Management, opened its first hotel in the Serbian capital. The Argo Hotel is located in the city centre, at Kralja Milana Street. With three stars, it belongs to the garni hotel type. It is located at Belgrade’s traffic main artery, so special attention was paid to sound insulation so that guests could enjoy the silence in the midst of the city bustle. By capacity, the Argo is an intimate hotel – it has 20 modernly equipped, “smart” rooms.
“What makes our hotel specific is a fascinating view that stretches along Kralja Milana Street. An excellent location is an advantage for both business guests and for those who come to Belgrade with an intention to meet the tourist charms of our capital. Another peculiarity of our hotel is that our doors are open for home pets,” told Miloš Pešić, the hotel’s manager.
MAJDAN
The Majdan hotel that welcomed its first guests early this year stands in the immediate vicinity of the Belgrade-Niš motorway, at the very entrance to Belgrade.
“Our hotel has a total of 28 rooms. It was built to last and to provide guests with a four-star service. Majdan’s trademark exclusive Swarovski chandelier gives the area an unusual warmth,” says Vojislav Božilović, director and co-owner of the hotel.
Whether you visit Belgrade for business, pleasure or vacation, the friendly hotel staff at the Majdan will be there to meet all your requirements and will make sure you have an experience worth remembering, the hotel managers say.
The story of new and refurbished hotels of Belgrade continues: the Yugoslavia Hotel on the Danube is under reconstruction floor by floor, while constructors have announced completion of works at the site of Old Mill, where the future hotel Radisson Blu will be.
