National Asset Recovery Agency starts looking for a manager for two hotels in Odesa

The Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) has launched preliminary market consultations on the management of two hotel complexes in Odesa that were seized and transferred to ARMA by the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv.

This was reported by the agency's press service.

These are the following facilities:

• Hotel Arcadia is a three-star complex with a total area of 10,774.7 square meters, which includes 287 rooms of five categories. The hotel includes an apartment complex with two-room suites, a banquet hall for 150 guests and five conference halls ranging from 40 to 170 square meters for 20 to 200 participants.
• The OK Odesa Hotel is a three-star business hotel with a total area of 6,490.9 square meters and 175 rooms of various categories. The complex includes a banquet hall for 600 people with seven halls and a concert hall for 1 thousand visitors, equipped with modern technology. The hotel has a shelter, its own parking lot with round-the-clock security and was completely renovated in 2012.

Both hotels are located in the resort area of Odesa, close to the city's beaches, tourist and cultural attractions. Currently, the complexes continue to operate.

In June, ARMA already tried to find managers for these hotels. The ultimate beneficiary of all three hotels was Lina Akivison, the daughter of Russian businessman Igor Akivison.

As stated in the court decision that transferred the hotels to ARMA, these establishments were mortgaged to two Russian business entities whose beneficial owners are the same as the owners of the Ukrainian companies that own the hotels. The existence of such a scheme did not exclude the possibility of making regular payments to Russian entities and further financing the armed aggression against Ukraine.
