LONDON—Marriott International continues to expand in Eastern Europe with the opening of its first hotel in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the 75-suite Residence Inn Sarajevo.
The hotel, operated by an affiliate of U.S.-based Interstate Hotels & Resorts, is the first internationally branded hotel in the country and fills a gap in the extended-stay market with suites and studios.
The Residence Inn Sarajevo comprises 62 studios and 13 suites, each with a fully equipped kitchen and separate areas for eating, working and relaxing. The rooms feature large, well-lit work desks, ergonomic chairs and complimentary high-speed Internet. A restorative feel is created throughout with earthy colors and light wood fixtures and fittings, according to the company. Each suite has its own private terrace.
The public spaces feature flexible seating for working or relaxing and a 24-hour Market selling drinks, snacks and meals. Additional facilities at the Residence Inn Sarajevo include free grocery delivery, airport pick up and drop off (at additional charge) and a fitness center with sauna.
Located just 20 minutes from the airport and near the old city, the Residence Inn Sarajevo provides convenient access to the city’s historical and cultural attractions, as well as restaurants, cafes and shops.
