Slovenian hotel market

Hotel valuations in Slovenia have increased and have been supported by interest from foreign investors who are keen to capitalise on the effects of improving infrastructure and the attractive capital values and rental income potential of the area.

At Room to Invest, we expect this rising interest to continue and to shore up capital values still further and we believe that Gora Hotel is in an excellent position to capitalise on both existing and potential demand.
