Spasic said that the renovation of the Ambasador did not start last year, as it was announced, for obtaining permits and designs.

- The permission for the adaptation had to be issued by the Ministry of Construction since the hotel was higher than 50 meters - he explained.

Hotel Ambasador was sold to My Place Group at auction for a bit more than RSD 97 m.

The Ambasador was owned by Srbijaturist until 2003, when, like other hotels of that company (Park, Partizan, Nais and Ozren), it was acquired by the company of the American businessman, Srbo Ilic. After years of litigation with the Privatization Agency, in 2014, Ilic decided to sell all hotels including the Ambasador hotel.
