A slice of history has been wonderfully resurrected in the form of the luxury Bushi Resort and Spa. This brand new hotel has quintessentially captured the essence of Macedonia’s 500 year old bazaar in Skopje, where it is located.
Bushi Resort and Spa has been the lifelong dream of the Bushi family, famed throughout Macedonia for their presence in the jewellery industry. The dream of the Resort’s owner, Lalip Bushi, has come to a realization in the hotel’s recent opening. New players in the tourism and hospitality industry, Lalip and his brother, Selami Bushi have utilized their personal extensive travel experience in order to bring everything the business and leisure tourist needs to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay.
In the short time the hotel has been open it had marked high occupancy rates which are expected to soar to the 100% capacity within the next year, as visitors are checking in from around the world. The exclusive Old Bazaar vibe of this hotel is attracting both business and leisure clients, and any guest is sure to appreciate the ancient Macedonian style decorated throughout with wood, stone and historic details. So far the feedback of guest has been very positive, especially commenting on the friendly staff in the hotel. As it stands, visitors are already able to select from an extensive range of 48 rooms, from standard, superior (and suites) through to prestigious presidential suite.
The unique hotel brings something fresh to the regional market in the form of an original spa centre. This large facility boasts an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and a traditional Turkish bath. Moreover, it offers six massage rooms with four professional trained therapists who are experts in the Thai massage treatments, as being their trade mark/flagship treatment. The conference room of Bushi is popular within Skopje, as it is open for any cooperation and as it had around three events a day during the last peak season. Currently the conference room can cater a clientele up to 200 people though future plans will increase this number until 500 participants.
After a four year construction process, where every detail was checked and finessed, Lalip and Selami Bushi remain ambitious as they have big plans for their hotel’s future: “We are expanding our capacity, and build one more conference centre. We will have a new Turkish restaurant and we are planning to make the spa more spacious”, they told The European Times.
The Bushi brothers want to attract more international visitors, and the owner, Lalip Bushi concluded with the message: “I want to bring the shine of the Old Bazaar back in place.
