At least three new hotels are planned to be opened in Kyiv before the beginning of Euro-2012: Hilton, Sheraton and Staro. This has been announced by the head of the Kyiv City State Administration Directorate for preparation and holding final part of Euro-2012 in Ukraine, Tetyana Slyshyk, in a live broadcast on the Kyiv TV channel.

“We have already got over 120 operating hotels. Demand for five-star hotels is very serious. We expect Hilton to be opened in Shevchenko Boulevard later this year. Some rooms on upper floors are already completed there. But we have expectations, and they are much interested, because this is a good chance. The same is also applicable to the Sheraton Hotel, though its readiness level is 80 per cent. They are working with great intensity on putting this hotel into operation in due time,” the official said. Besides this, Slyshyk has also said that the four-star Sraro Hotel able to accommodate 35 visitors will be opened in the capital city by summer.

The high-ranking official has emphasized that more detailed information on accommodation and occupancy of the hotels will be available as early as in March. Namely at that time the authorities will see whether it will be worth looking for any other new proposals.
