Prices for rooms at Ribas Hotels have been reduced

Ribas Hotels Group is a chain of hotels in Odessa, Odessa region and western regions of Ukraine. In total, the chain has 26 hotels, apart- and mini- hotels, country clubs. The total room fund of Ribas Hotels Group is 1 thousand rooms. The chain also cooperates with other Ukrainian and European hotels: it develops them and helps to manage them effectively.

“Working with no profit is already good for us. We will make money after the victory, but now it is important and necessary to work to support employees, help the people and the country,” says Arthur Lupashko, founder and CEO of the network.

The help for the army

In the first days of the Ukrainian war, Ribas Hotels staff set up a volunteer headquarters. They turned to entrepreneurs with a request to help the army: in three weeks they managed to raise almost 1 million hryvnias. With this money they bought ammunition and food for the units of the territorial defense of Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson.

The Lviv office is working as before, but in Odessa, employees have switched to a remote format. Some of them have been evacuated abroad, while others went to the western regions of Ukraine.

According to Artur Lupashko, now the main task of the company is to keep the team. Some employees work only a few days a week, their workload has decreased. Others work full time.

“We have developed several options for calculating wages. Everyone has chosen their own, ”Arthur said.

The company will rent existing European hotels and those that need a restart. To do this, Ribas Hotels Group hires new employees: Ukrainians who were forced to move to different European cities.
