Welcoming in the New Year Crown Style


Since 2005 we have been here in Bansko for the Winter Season but Never has it been so, so busy crazy busy and the City is in an amazing buzz, huge numbers and people of all nationality i have meet and talked with South Africans, Australians, Chinese Japanese really no joke along with the usual Macedonians, Serbians, Romanians, Russians here in there droves plus half of Greece or thats how it feels, the Rich and Fashionable of Bulgaria, from Sofia, Varna and Plovdiv in massive numbers more S class Merc's Range Rovers and Cayenne's than ever and off course the good old English contingent.

All in all a great start to the 2012/2013 season, obviously there are the usual queues at the Gondola but worst i am sorry to say much worst. Our Ski hire partners actually run out of equipment and their quota of lift passes for the week.

But never fear Crown is here, and for our IPM Clients we arranged a mini bus and other transportation up the mountain and passes via an inside friend ;) and great skiing has been had by all, up top weather is stunning and ski conditions fab.

However the numbers and Gondola queues have as if by design, added huge weigh to the credibility off the recent local protests that closed roads to the town and local business petitions (of which we where part off) to the government for permit's to start the next Gondola so pressure mounts all round and we believe these are the political shows that will see soon the start of construction.

More new and exciting business are opening including a great specialist wine's spirits and Cigar shop with just a stunning and exclusive selection of beverages and for all Crown IPM clients there is a 10% discount.
Really a great selection 
Wines, Whiskey, Cognac's Port Champaign and cigars if there your thing
A new Italian designer shop owned by a Milan design house, (Yana went mad, forth coming birthday present already chosen) a fab French owned and run, French Sandwich Shop Le Retro (http://www.le-retro-bansko.com) serving sandwiches and quiche's to die for really, a pre order and delivery can be arranged and delivered to the Park reception either direct or via reception. 

Thus far the new restaurants and hang-outs have proved to be great and constant in their food quality and service and our favourite remains Euphoria, great atmosphere good food lovely service. The mehana's remain as always a lovely tourist adventure with the potential for great food but a possible down on service and sometime price so please be carful.

For New Year we have a lovely number of owners in both Hill and Park and have arranged for everyone a great Crown New Year bash at Euphoria with transport to and from the complex, should be a great night watch out for the pictures on the blog.

So all that remains it to do is thank everyone for working with us during this last year and we hope the coming New Year brings everyone Good fortune, health, Love and wealth and that together we can continue to take the complex forward along its road to a more solid and sustainable future where everyone can enjoy and benefit form the potential it has to offer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE & ALL

  4. Paul unfortunately very many owners, in fact the majority of owners that purchased furniture at the Park from the developer where the victims of the theft, when we first became a wear of this event local police where advised and an investigation held but to no avail a number of owners tried to get recompense via their insurance company's but again to no avail, i am afraid it's a dreadfully sorry tail from the past history of the complex, and one we are working with all owners to move forward from.
