What's your New Year's resolutions?
Ours is to travel even more! 😁

The hallways, staircases and windows of Yugoslav history - this is hotel Jugoslavija.
All of the ideals of modern architecture of New Belgrade & Yugoslavia are embedded in this once spectacularly luxurious building.
Hotel Jugoslavija opened its doors in 1969. and immediately became the most luxurious hotel in Yugoslavia and listed itself in the top 5 largest and most beautiful hotels in Europe.

A part of a modern urban utopia, the huge hotel structure has more than 350 rooms.
In the official brochure, it advertised:
More than 1000 beds, Air conditioning, banquet rooms, restaurants, an English club casino, a swimming pool & spa, beach on the river with a pier for sailboats, a kids' saloon, congress halls, shops, hair salons, an exchange office, a garage with vallet service, a taxi service with Mercedes cars, a dog care.

All high officials and important guests visiting Yugoslavia stayed in the hotel, among them:
Queen Elizabeth II, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Armstrong, W***y Brandt, the Apollo 11 crew, Tina Turner and other royals, artists and athletes.

Hotel Jugoslavija had the biggest chandelier in the world designed and made by Swarovski in 1969.
It features 40.000 Swarovski crystals, 5000 bulbs and it weighs 14 tonnes. It measures 30 by 90 meters (98ft x 30ft). It held the record until 2010.

During the NATO bombing of Belgrade in 1999. the hotel was hit with three missiles and it was left severely damaged and unusable.
Miraculously, the marble spiral staircase and the chandelier both survived, standing among the rubble of the entrance and the main hallway of the hotel.

Today, the hotel is neglected and only partially used as a three-star garni hotel.
It mirrors the fate of the country that shares the name Jugoslavija, as it slowly decays and waits for a better time.

What are your thoughts on forgotten history?
