''Hollywood'' Hotel on Ilidza near Sarajevo by Architect Ahmet Hadrovic



Author(s): Ahmet Hadrovic

Abstract:

The time of the 1990s before the series of wars on the territory of the former SFRY (which resulted in its disintegration) was a time of social restitution where the former socialist-communist system (known in the SFRY as 'socialist self-management') was transformed into liberal capitalism. The economy that used to be 'controlled from the top of the state' was replaced by (mostly) private initiatives where a large number of investors appeared with capital 'whose origin was not questioned'. There were 'domestic investors' as well as those who 'came from abroad'. In a relatively short period of time after the war (1992-1995), in Sarajevo and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, new production facilities, religious buildings, catering facilities (restaurants, guesthouses, motels and hotels) sprang up. In the very beginning, these were more modest constructions that 'grew' over time - extended and expanded - depending on the success of their business. Many of them, shortly after construction, fell into disrepair and were physically devastated. This paper presents one example of a hotel whose construction began with the 'extension of a private house and its remodeling into a three-star hotel'. The author of this work was the designer of the First and Second phases of the “Hollywood” hotel in Ilidza near Sarajevo.
