Due to restrictions, cancel reservations in Palanga, Neringa

According to E. Šiškauskienė, this year, despite the pandemic, hotels really had a lot of reservations for the big parties of the year. According to her, the residents of the capital planned to spend their vacations in Palanga, Neringa, to be in small groups, with families, to change the environment, to order food in the rooms.

However, as the government further tightens the quarantine and restricts movement between municipalities, residents have said they are massively canceling reservations for the holiday period. ” We are seeing massive reservation cancellations and I agree with that. I think there would have been a lot of people in Palanga and Neringa, but we really need to refrain from this period, ”he said.

E. Šiškauskienė confirmed that, let’s say, people who live in the same city where the hotel is located will be able to come to spend the holidays and order dinner in the rooms, but said he doubted that there would be many who would like to do so.

“But I really don’t think there are many, because I think the idea used to come from other cities, to change the atmosphere, but I really don’t think locals go to hotels here now, because dinner prices are not low either.

I think it will be more for those people who live in hotels and have no other option. There are those who live in a hotel, for example there are Belarusians, NATO soldiers in Vilnius, who have a long-term lease, then apparently restaurants working in hotels will bring a gala dinner to the room if it arises the need.

“There are enough people interested. Not many have confirmed their arrival yet, but people call every day.

In keeping with the trend of our restaurant, large reservations usually take place in the last week. The royal apartments are sold out. There are luxury rooms and apartments left, ”he said, and when asked if this meant that Lithuanians were not saving money with the consent of the newcomers, he added that for some this amount of money seems large and for others it is not.

“People can’t really stand out, they save money and it turns out they can pay a little more,” he said.

When asked what such a gala dinner looked like, the restaurant manager said that the rooms are disinfected with special lamps before the guests arrive, and once the gala dinner begins, the service personnel enter the the room only once, upon delivery.

Half the hotel was booked

The Artis Hotel in the center of Vilnius also offers to spend the New Year by staying at the hotel.

Artūras Vainora, director of the Centrum Hotels hotel chain, said that almost half of the hotels have been booked for the New Year until today, but when the situation changes due to movement restrictions, it will be considered how to proceed.

“Now we are monitoring the market and talking to the team, we want to know where our guests are from, we will call with each client about the reservations we have for the Newcomers and we will find out where the municipal person is from.
