– Among other things, the hotel will feature a spa center, a congress hall, a lookout and a panoramic elevator. It will have between four and five stars – Radojicic said.

The reconstruction of each hotel, according to their owners, will cost around EUR 5 million and will enable the creation of around 200 jobs.
