The newest victim: one of the most popular Hungarian hotels closes

The popular Hotel Lövér in Sopron will close at the end of October. The three-star superior hotel has been welcoming guests for 40 years. The “unfavourable external circumstances” brought them to their knees.

The hotel was operating for almost 40 years

After almost 40 years, the Lövér Hotel in Sopron will close its doors for good on 1 November, according to a statement published on the hotel’s website. As they write, “adverse external circumstances beyond our control will bring us to our knees”. The hotel management had already indicated at the end of September that they were in trouble due to drastically rising overheads, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reports.

At the time, it was said that nothing had been definitively decided. This now seems to have changed. “After many years of successful cooperation, we have terminated our operator/tenant agreement for the hotel by mutual agreement between the owner Danubius Hotels and the tenant/operator Bartha Hotel Kft,” they wrote.

They also reminded those with unused vouchers or unreserved advances to contact the hotel.
