Na Zemun quay nothing will be the same again, because in December, the demolition of Hotel "Yugoslavia" will begin. Only the legendary will be saved chandelier, which entered the Guinness Book of Records. The new hotel will be part of a well-known chain, which will be announced at the end of the year. writes RTS.
A decade and a half has passed since the initiative to build a hotel and commercial-residential towers on this location.
A number of rooms, the reception and the hall, which houses the famous Swarovski crystal chandelier, meet the standards of a three-star hotel.
Other parts, including the famous Tito's suite, have been left to the test of time.
The investor plans to invest half a billion euros in the construction of a hotel and two towers by 2027.
The representative of the investor, Živorad Vasić, says that the residential tower will be closer to the center of Belgrade and will have 42 floors, and that both buildings will be below the height of 150 meters.
"The business tower, where all the Serbian and foreign companies that are investors in Serbia will be, will take that space and it will be a tower that will have 34 floors. But what needs to be said is that the hotel will be in the same place and that there will be a corridor under the hotel, which will connect the Danube Quay with Nikola Tesla Boulevard," explains Vasić.
Eight floors, but half as many rooms
The new hotel will also have eight floors, but due to adaptation to the new standards that apply to five-star hotels, it will have half as many rooms.
"Belgrade will get one of the most luxurious brands, by the end of the year it will be known which one, a 5-star hotel, which will have 200 rooms, in which each room will have a minimum of 38 square meters, which will have the most beautiful presidential suite according to the highest standards and a hotel, most importantly, which will be completed by the beginning of Expo 2027," the investor's representative points out.
The chandelier will be preserved
The chandelier with as many as 40.000 Swarovski crystals, which is also in the Guinness Book of Records and served as inspiration for the future look of the facade, will be preserved.
"The facade will be greened, and as for the greening of the facade itself, Great War Island served as inspiration and the types of plants that will be used are species that are present only on Great War Island." The systems that will be installed will be from the highest category of energy efficiency," says project development director Marko Milovanović.
On the coast, it is planned to build a passenger pier, i.e. a marina for the reception of passengers and boats that will be used for recreation, sports and entertainment.
Building the Ritz Carlton?
As "Vreme" previously wrote Hotel "Yugoslavia" was opened in 1969. It was sold for the first time in 2006 for 31,3 million euros to the company "Alpe Adria Hoteli", which announced the new life of "Yugoslavia" under the international brand "Kepminski", but nothing happened.
This March, it was sold to the company "Millennium Team", which will demolish it for the construction of the "Ritz Carlton" hotel.
Allegedly, the existing construction of the building is such that it is impossible to reconstruct the building in a way that meets the requirements of prestigious hotel chains.
According to the project, in addition to the "Ritz-Carlton" hotel, two towers will be built, one on each side of it: a residential with 42 floors that will be positioned towards Friendship Park, and a business with 33 floors that will be located on the side facing Zemun.
