Първоаприлска шега в подкрепа на хотелите!

Earlier today we published a joke article that we were acquiring the Marinella Hotel. This is of course not true, but we will use the fact that we got your attention.

When things get better, let's support Bulgarian tourism by visiting Bulgarian resorts and hotels! We will, how about you?

Here is the news-joke we published:

Property management company Flat Manager announced early this morning that it is acquiring the capital's Marinella Hotel. The statement was made before the BSE market opened, so that the news would not cause excessive volatility in the shares of the two companies.

The financial terms of the acquisition are currently confidential, but it appears that the deal will be one of the largest in the sector for the year in the world. Consultants on the transaction from Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan said that there was also interest in the hotel from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway fund, as well as from the hotel unit of Richard Branson's empire - Virgin. Flat Manager's offer, as usual, was the best.

In a statement this morning, Flat Manager CEO Boris Pavlov revealed some of the company's plans for the development of the iconic capital hotel. It is expected that kitchenettes will be built in all rooms, and the huge marble lobby will be converted into a coworking space. The Megami club will also be changed using the best practices from the Lazur club in Sunny Beach. It is not yet clear what the new name of the hotel will be, but according to rumors, one of the selected proposals is "Hl Mutafchiiski". HQ approval for its use is awaited.

The hotel will be removed from the platforms of Booking.com, Expedia and the other major OTAs and will be offered solely through the Flat Manager platform – www.flataway.eu.

People close to the company say that there are plans for FlatAway to acquire one of the two giants in the field of online bookings, after it surpassed Airbnb in terms of bookings in Bulgaria in the last month (this last one may actually happen...:) ).

Expect more news soon! In the meantime, save Temporary Home on www.flataway.eu !

Dear friends, as you guessed this is an April Fool's joke. We wish the colleagues from the Marinela Hotel, and everyone in the sector, to be healthy and manage to deal with the current situation in the best possible way.

Google has decided not to release April Fools' jokes due to the pandemic, but we think now more than ever we need to lift our spirits, smile at every opportunity and think positively. We are going to make it!

Stay healthy, smile and take care!

FM Dream Team
