The history of ”Slavija” Hotel begins way back in 1885. The former two-story hotel was located on an important part of the square after which it was named later. The present buildings of this hotel were built on the opposite corner of the same square, between Makenzijeva and Svetosavska Streets. Before the beginning of the 7th European Athletics Championships in Belgrade in 1962, ”Slavija I” was built, called ”The Tower” (17 floors). It was a very modern building, popular as a part of the town’s profile. ”Slavija II” as an annex to ”Slavija I” was opened in 1973, and its first guests were the participants of the World Swimming Championship. In 1989, ”Slavija Lux” was opened, the most modern and most luxurious part of this hotel complex, and its first guests were 15 foreign ministers of countries which participated the Conference of Heads of State or Government of Non-aligned Countries, then members of their delegations and their escort.
Today, these three hotels offer 431 rooms, 23 suites, eight catering units (restaurants, cafés, bars and halls) with 1075 seats in total.
