 The Sarajevo legend and the symbol of the city last night officially opened its doors. A hotel that was during the war completely destroyed was bought by the investor from Saudi Arabia - Shiddi International that invested more than 30 million.
Managing the renovated hotel should take over the company Shaza Hotels in Dubai, an owner of dozens of the most luxurious hotels in the world.
The spectacular opening ceremony was attended by over 600 guests, including the participants of the Sarajevo Business Forum 2011.
A special significance to the Hotel Bristol gives the fact that this is the first project completed as a result of the Business Forum of Sarajevo, while the comments of all the present were that the Sarajevo legend has truly been reborn.
Director of the International Shiddi Group - Sulaiman Al - Shiddi said that this was just the first successful project in the string that is to follow. "This is the start of projects to come."
"The Hotel Bristol occupied a special place in the life of many Sarajevo citizens, so today we celebrate the rebirth of the legend of this city. The Hotel Bristol has been mended and equipped but it has kept its individuality. It is going to be a four-star hotel employing 140 workers, it was pointed out at the gala opening ceremony at which also spoke Simon Coombs, president and director of the hotel, Nedzad Kolodzo the mayor of the Municipality Novi Grad, and Bakir Izetbegovic, member of the BH Presidency, .
Izetbegovic said that the Hotel Bristol marked the youth of many people from Sarajevo and rose like a phoenix from the ashes, while its renovation and construction supported the entire construction industry of Sarajevo.
The hotel has 186 luxury rooms, of which 98 are superior rooms, 72 deluxe rooms and 16 suites decorated to the highest quality standards - including two deluxe suites (bedrooms) and 14 junior suites (two bedrooms). It has two restaurants - News and The Brasserie, and a cafe-patisserie - Cafe Bristol.
The focus has been on Bristol as an international hotel, but following the culture of the Middle East.
