Etap's one-star aspirations
The first hotel will replace the Hotel Solec, which will be deconstructed at the end of the year, and the second will replace the Hotel Vera on ul. Bitwy Warszawskiej, which will be renovated. Work is scheduled to begin at the end of the year. The company is aiming for occupancy rates of 55-59 percent and says its future is in budget-priced one-star accommodation. A room with three beds will cost slightly more than zł.100.
In order to minimize costs, hotels will not have any conference facilities and meals will be limited to ready-made breakfasts. Staff will number 10 for every 100 rooms and by 2009 Etap intends to open 23 hotels in Poland.
Etap puts the cost of construction and renovation of one room at zł.120,000 and zł.70,000 respectively. Orbis will spend zł.224.8 million on the creation of this Etap network and a further zł.159.9 million on the expansion of its more expensive Ibis chain.
