September 23 (SeeNews) - UK-based International Hotel Group (IHG) plans to start the construction of a hotel under the Holiday Inn Express brand in Kragujevac, central Serbia, in the first quarter of 2023, the Kragujevac city government said.
The hotel will have 73 rooms, two restaurants, large conference rooms, as well as about 60 employees, and its construction will take 18 months, the Kragujevac city government said in a statement on Thursday.
"We are very happy because we are entering a city that is expanding, an industrial city, the fourth largest in Serbia, and we think that such a city needs an international brand," IHG regional director Zivorad Vasic said during a meeting with Kragujevac mayor Nikola Dasic.
IHG already operates a hotel under the Holiday Inn Express brand in Serbia's capital Belgrade.
