Srbija hotel gets more stars - Spaniards build spa center in Vrsac

(Srbija hotel)

The hotel keepers from Palma de Mallorca who bought Srbija hotel in 2008, situated in the very center of Vrsac, want to add the fourth star to that tourist facility. That is why they have purchased from the municipality of Vrsac at the public auction a grass area of 2,100 square meters, set between the hotel and the police station, on which they plan to have a big fitness and spa center built, with an indoor swimming pool, which will enrich the city tourist offer.

Hotel manager Aleksandar Kampfer confirmed for daily paper Novosti that a new part of the hotel would be built in that location and that it would comprise an underground garage, intended exclusively for the needs of guests. Elaboration of the project has been entrusted to an architectural studio from the Balearic Islands, which is famous for drawing plans for high-category hotels and the airport in Palma de Mallorca.

- Urban conditions allow for the construction of a business building with up to eight floors, but we want to be socially responsible and to preserve the old style of the city with the new look. The new facility won't have more than three floors - Kampfer points out.

- The planned investment is not limited. We will be collecting the required documentation during the winter, while the construction will commence already in spring.

In two years, which is the time Spanish Eix hotels company has spent operating in Vrsac, they have invested about 350,000 euros in the first phase of renovation of the oldest hotel in Vrsac. That money was spent only on the adaptation and renovation of all critical points that were endangering the operations. This year, for the second phase of renovation, the hotel has got the incentives from the programme of the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, which is intended for hotels and tourist destinations.

- Our long-term aim is standardization and improvement of services until they reach the level of services in other hotels within the group, which has been in the hotel business for 30 years now. The value of the investment is 270,000 euros, while another 130,000 euros have been provided from the loan. All debts have been repaid - says Kampfer.
