The start of the construction of the new hotel "Galeb" in Ulcinj depends on the adoption of the urban planning project and the issuance of all necessary permits, and more precise information about it, as well as about a potential internationally recognized brand from the hotel industry, which could take over the management of the hotel, can be expected soon, it was announced. News" in the Kotor company "Sunny Palace" after the Government last week determined the draft of amendments and additions to the Urban Project for the location of the Hotel "Galeb", with a program of holding a public hearing lasting 15 working days.
The company "Sunny Palace" bought an attractive plot of land above the Suka peninsula in Ulcinj from the Podgorica company "Rokšped" and undertook the construction of the new "Galeb". According to earlier announcements, putting the five-star hotel into operation can be expected no later than four years from the start of the works. The company from Kotor announced at the time that, although they took over the obligation of the previous owner to the state to invest over 15 million euros in the construction of a new hotel, that figure will certainly be exceeded many times over.
In the middle of last year, the company from Kotor requested a change in the urban technical conditions (UTU) in the part related to the appearance of the hotel, as well as a change in the contract with the Government and HTP "Ulcinjska riviera", at the request of potential hotel operators, since, as they said then, the existing conceptual solution has been overcome. They also stated that the preparation of the main project, after the adoption of the urban project, will be shortened from 18 to 12 months and that the works could start 90 days later.
In the answers to the questions of "Vijesti", signed by the legal representative of "Sunny Palace", lawyer Miloš Komnenić, it was stated that this company is fully preparing and harmonizing the necessary project documentation, in order to start the works when all the necessary prerequisites are obtained and the necessary approvals are obtained.
"In this sense, we are fully operational to start construction immediately after obtaining all the necessary prerequisites," he wrote in the answer.
It is added that the company is currently focused on cooperation with the competent institutions to ensure that the process goes as quickly as possible, while at the same time respecting all regulations and standards.
"We expect that we will soon be able to publish more precise information about the start of the works, and we hope that the 'Galeb' hotel will once again become the pride of the city of Ulcinj in the near future," says Komnenić's letter.
He repeated that the company "Sunny Palace" stands by its plans that there will be no accommodation units for sale in the new building.
"As we previously told your media, the intention is to build a five-star hotel on this location, which will be managed by an international brand. The current business plans that we are working on are based on a classic hotel without the components of the sale of accommodation units, in the manner provided by the relevant law, but the final decision will be made in cooperation with the operator", said Komnenić.
He added that harmonizing all the requirements of hotel operators through the preparation of project documentation requires thorough attention and time commitment.
"The engaged team works hard to ensure that all requests from hotel operators are carefully considered and incorporated, while respecting urban planning guidelines and standards. We recognize the importance of this process and are confident that the result will be a unique and high-quality hotel that will meet the expectations of guests. We are trying to maintain an open dialogue with all relevant parties in order to ensure that the 'Galeb' hotel becomes a true symbol of luxury and quality in Ulcinj," said Komnenić in response to the question of whether there are any new requests from tourist operators.
He confirmed that the company is currently in active discussions with several internationally recognized brands from the hotel industry, which could take over the management of "Galeba".
"The goal is to ensure the best possible partnership that will allow the hotel to reach its full potential and provide a superior experience to guests. Appointing an international brand as a hotel operator requires thorough research, market analysis and negotiations to find the best solution for our project. It is important for us to choose a partner who shares our visions, values and quality standards. We can guarantee you that we are committed to finding a partner who will ensure that the 'Galeb' hotel becomes a serious reference in the global hotel industry. We are continuing with the negotiations and we hope to soon publish more information about the future operator of the hotel", said Komnenić.
