Hotel Evropa (Prague)
Hotel Europe (originally known as Hotel Evropa) is a historic hotel in central Sarajevo. Built and opened in the early days of what turned out to be a 40-year Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the hotel holds a special place in the city's lore as its first modern hospitality venue. Over its almost century and a half long existence, the hotel saw many changes often brought upon by sudden geopolitical events, reflecting the city's turbulent political and social history. For the initial 60 years, from its construction and grand opening until World War II, Hotel Evropa was owned and run by the Jeftanović family, father and son and Dušan, respectively, Serb merchants and industrialists from Sarajevo. During the communist period in Yugoslavia from 1945 until 1990, the hotel was nationalized and run by various state-owned entities such as HTP Evropa. Since the Bosnian War, the property has been re-privatized in 2006 by the Sandžak-born Bosniak businessman who r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
