Help for Marinas Hotel: renovation backlog in Styria

Help for Marinas Hotel: renovation backlog in Styria

In the thermal and volcanic country in Styria, the hotel owner Marina B. is desperately fighting for the future of her life's work. After taking over the company in June 2016, it is now faced with considerable financial difficulties caused by the need for an urgent renovation of the house. "Time is running away," says the 61-year-old and emphasizes the challenges with which she is confronted. The path to the necessary financing was peppered with obstacles, including problems with your house bank, pandemic, as well as increasing inflation and unexpected renovation costs that make you great trouble.

The hotel rooms are currently in the building state. Despite strong efforts to convert the hotel cost -effective during the pandemic, Marina is now faced with reality that she no longer has any money to complete the work. "I have already repaid part of the loan, but now I'm standing in front of a wall," she explains. "The bank no longer sees me, I have become invisible to her," she describes her frustrating situation.

The search for new possibilities

To get fresh capital, Marina has now changed the bank and hopes for better support. But she lacks a decisive signature to handle the financial matters. Your search for a "guarantor" is difficult because neither family nor friends are able to support her in this emergency. "I feel left alone, and I could really use help," she says, while she is alone in the challenges of hotel business.

The hotel was partially opened in 2021, but Marina has a considerable impact on the aftermath of the Lockdown. Due to the tense financial situation, it is not possible for her to hire personnel. On days when she needs a break for herself, she sees herself forced to close the hotel.

good inquiries despite setbacks

Marina cannot complain about lack of demand. "The inquiries are numerous, but due to the incomplete renovation, I cannot offer guests what they want," she reports. At the moment there is a lack of a kitchen for preparing breakfast, which is particularly problematic for the guest news between autumn and spring. "The guests not only want an overnight stay, but also a breakfast. I would like to offer you a full performance," she notes and dreams of a small restaurant in the house.

Despite these challenges, Marina is optimistic. Many of her previous guests have already promised to return and keep your fingers crossed that your situation improves. "It's nice to know that the guests are behind me," she says. This support helps her to remain optimistic even in critical times and to capture her visions.

To continue to breathe life into your hotel and your dream, Marina urgently is looking for a guarantor or a sponsor who is ready to support you financially in the renovation. "Every help is welcome, be it through financial support or through other forms of help," she demands in her cry for help from the hotel industry. She feels gratitude for everyone who would be willing to contact her - maybe there is still a solution.

In Styria, many companies fight with financial challenges. According to the current insolvency statistics, the numbers are higher than ever. Restaurants and restaurants are under pressure because consumers have changed their output patterns. Klaus Brandner, operator of an inn in Leoben, reports on the violent consequences and is a living example of the difficulties with which many of these companies are faced with. Several family businesses had to close, another sign for the tense situation in the hospitality industry.

The situation in the hotel industry is therefore worrying, and especially Marina B. hopes for light at the end of the tunnel. Support in whatever form could help her revive the hotel and to realize her vision for high -quality but affordable gastronomy in the region. For interested parties and supporters, she offers your contact details to enable the dialogue and maybe find a solution together.
