In a reconstructed and modernly designed hotel the guests will have the most popular forms of fun and active rest, from skateboard, roller drive, to alpine wall. They are planning to renew the fitness center, wellness center and the indoor pool.
After the reconstruction hotel Plaza should get the status of a top-notch “conference and wellness” hotel with four superior stars.
The greatest reconstruction is planned for the hotel Igalo in which they want to build an underground casino and a wellness center, the present big parking lot should be turned into a park with fountains, and bellow it they will construct a multi floor garage whose one part would be for guests of the hotel, and the other for the other people interested. The hotel should be categorized with 5 stars.
Hulveli has presented their view of the future development of Herceg Novi. In cooperation with the local administration, but also with other investors, they are suggesting the arrangement of the promenade along the sea, and turning of the main city street, from Igalo to Meljine into a walking zone. In their plans is also the construction of several garages, multi floor and underground ones, as well as of parking lots, in order to, liberate the center of the town from the traffic, and to make it more pleasant and attractive for guests and local people.
