The city is developing to become an important economic, touristical and cultural centre. Thus, the airport is becoming more frequently used and that is a benefit for Chopin Airporthotel.“With the opening of the Chopin Airporthotel in Bratislava, guests already have three Chopin brand hotels to choose from. The first Chopin hotel was acquired in Cracow (Poland) in 2004. A further hotel followed in Prague (Czech Republic) in September 2008.Vienna International Hotels & Resorts was founded in 1989.
