The facility will become the fourth in the Ibis chain in Ukraine and the second hotel of the AccorHotels operator in Lviv.
According to the newspaper, the height of the building will not be raised, and office premises will be arranged on the technical fifth floor.
As reported, Accor has also signed a management agreement for the Swissotel Living hotel located at 13, Liuteranska Street in the Pechersky District of Kyiv, which is scheduled to open in 2021-2022.
