The host city of Lviv regards the preparation of its hotel infrastructure for Euro-2012 as one of its greatest strengths. The resort city of Truskavets, located 80 km from the city, will also help to take in ordinary fans during the tournament. However, the Lion City will also lease out hotel complexes for the tournament. As noted in an interview with the "Uryadoviy Courier" newspaper by the Director of Lviv City Council for preparations for the championship, Oleh Zasadniy, the city plans to commission six more facilities belonging to hotel infrastructure prior to the start of the tournament.
"The difficult economic conditions of recent years have, fortunately, not influenced the plans of the representatives of the hotel business, though they may have somewhat slowed the pace of construction. On the map of the city beautiful newly built or renovated hotels will appear soon, which will decorate the architectural character of the ancient city. The finishing touches will be put by designers and staff in the newly-built Nobilis hotel, which is located not far from the centre on cosy Fredra Streeet. It is planned to open six more hotels prior to the championship.
Active work is going ahead on completing the construction of the second phase of the five-star hotel Leopolis, whose luxury rooms will accommodate members of the UEFA family.
There is also the Vintage hotel, a very cozy and comfortable four-star hotel for 117 people. The Grand Hotel, which is on Freedom Avenue, will have five-star status after reconstruction. And the city’s oldest hotel, the George, is also being renovated, said Zasadniy.
He added that the existing chain of hotels in the city will be supplemented by luxurious refurbished rooms Chopin, Astoria and Swiss.
The four-star hotel Reikartz, located on Horodotsky Street, hospitably opened its doors not long ago, and currently the second of this network is receiving guests on Drukarska Street.
