and other office equipment), childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or
basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day spa and social function services.
Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs)
to allow guests to identify their room. Some boutique, high-end hotels have
custom decorated rooms. Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board
arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and
drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide
a tiny room suitable only for sleeping and shared bathroom facilities
Dareje Asnaku is offers a “homey, yet luxurious” feel for guests looking for
somewhere other than a mundane hotel, motel or condo. We will offer guests
breakfast, set dinners, activities, and spa specials.
The Manor will be directed at the baby boomer generation. This is one of the
largest demographics and as their ability to travel increases, we expect to see
occupancy rates rise. Targeting this market, we may be neglecting young
travelers, but want to offer the “exclusive” feel for guests.
1.4 Competition
The location of the project area is a destination for numerous travelers throughout the year;
because of this, competition is high. There are currently a number of hotel and tourism
accommodations available to potential travelers; however there is currently nothing specifically
designed for this demographic. By offering guests everything we expect to, we see no problem
with local competition.
Profitability: The financial analysis of the envisaged project is carried out for the
following ten years. Based on the 10 years financial projections using the income
statement, cash flow statement and financial internal rate of return (FIRR), the
following results are obtained

1.5 Marketing and Sales Strategy
In order to create an established bed and breakfast (B&B) in the area, it will be imperative to start
with an aggressive marketing plan. Marketing on social networks, travel sites, and magazines
baby boomers frequently use will generate our exposure helping to gain market share. Setting
room rates at competitive prices in relation to the competition will allow us to compete in the
market.
1.6 Operations
The Manor will be owned and operated by the delegated emplyee. Additional employees will be
hired as needed throughout the year. In order to keep costs low, most of the work will be done by
the owner.
1.7 Financials
The financial strategy for Deraje Asnake will be to keep costs as low as possible to keep business
profitable in short period. Because of this the new venture, acquiring any type of loan for
renovations or expenses will be difficult. However, an optimistic sales strategy will provide banks
the opportunity to see how the money will be spent and where we expect to see positive numbers.
2 General Background
Ethiopia is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa and often cited as an attractive
destination by business leaders because of its 90m population and vast agricultural resources.

Though, the country's has fertile national parks, 3,000 year-old archeological history and nine
UNESCO world heritage sites are also a big attraction for tourists. Ethiopia has a significant
shortage of quality hotel rooms. There are only limited numbers of five star hotels, likely only 5.
This is set to change by other players seeking to enter the market.
Though, the country's has fertile national parks, 3,000 year-old archeological history and nine
UNESCO world heritage sites are also a big attraction for tourists. Ethiopia has a significant
shortage of quality hotel rooms. There are only limited numbers of five star hotels, likely only 5.
This is set to change by other players seeking to enter the market.
Due to this reason In mid 1990s, lack of hotel infrastructure in the city was a fact well exploited by
those who wanted to see the OAU relocated permanently to elsewhere in the continent. Until the
case was once and for all settled with the African Union Constitutive Act of article 24/1 which
declared “the headquarters’ of the Union shall be seated in Addis Abeba in the Federal Republic of
Ethiopia,” there had been at least four attempts to move the seat of the continental body out of
Addis Abeba, Ethiopia
Whilst the country had been busy experimenting with an array of political ideology from
feudalism to socialism to revolutionary democracy, chosen by successive governments since the
late 19th and early 20th century, the hotel industry throughout the country remained regrettably
muted. Even the onset of Sheraton Addis, the first hotel in the entire continent to join the luxury
collection, failed to inspire an immediate follow up.
Based on these premises and the boom tourists market in the country and additional Ethiopian Air
lines service that link Africa with the world leads to basic research on hotel sector of the country.
Finally a research has been done by a researcher of Awash International Bank team for market
projection demand for hotel nights will hit more than 1.3m in coming years. But the East African
nation, Ethiopia currently only has just three international hotel brands, namely Sheraton, Hilton
and Radisson Blu.

This is set to change following announcements at AHIF by other players seeking to enter the
market. Some of the new hotels, which are entering to these markets become increasing even if it
the rate of business in the sector is not satisfactory relative to the hotel market gap.
Ramada Addis, is one of the fourth international hotel brand to launch in “one of the most vibrant
and economically robust cities of Africa” will have an impact both on employment and investment.
At the mean time, Marriott International also plans to expand it’s hotel business into Ethiopia, as
well as grow its footprint in countries such as South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana and Rwanda.
It recently acquired South Africa’s Protea Hotel Group. This first Hotel in Africa will give a multi
fold advantage over the other east African hotel business as well as African countries at large.
Sunshine Business plc, a company will open the “two five-star Marriott hotels with a total
expenditure of over US$100m”. The company is developing Courtyard by Marriott Addis Ababa
and the Marriott Executive Apartments Addis Ababa, which will be targeted at international
travelers and executive expats seeking luxurious apartment living with hotel services.
In addition to the above coming first classes hotel, both Best Western International and
InterContinental Hotels Group announced they will launch new properties in Ethiopia over the
coming two years.
“Addis Ababa is evolving at pace, with infrastructure such as the Bole International Airport now
serving almost 20m passengers a year,” “This being our first hotel in Ethiopia we will now have a
presence in 13 countries across Africa.”
This all business projection in the hotel industry indicate us Ethiopia's tourism sector is set for a
record year as number of visitors to the coffee producing East African nation increase buoyed by
increased number of high-end hotels built by Ethiopians in the Diaspora and improving
infrastructure.
According to Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the country generated more than $1.7 billion in the
first six months of its current fiscal year (2015/16). The country received 470,000 tourists during
Dereje Asnake
Page 9

the period, with each staying an average of 16 days. The visitor’s number was more than half of
the average 750,000 visitors it gets each year 12 percent higher than a decade ago.
According to Public Relations and International Affairs Director at the Ministry of Culture and
Tourism, Ethiopians living abroad have built more than 200 luxury hotels in the country making it
easier for the country to market itself as an up market tourist destination.
The Ethiopian government has for the past few years taken various steps to encourage Ethiopian
Diaspora community to play an active role in the development of their home country. The
country's fertile national parks, 3,000 year-old archeological history and nine UNESCO world
heritage sites are also a big attraction for tourists. The Ethiopian government now wants to triple
this number to more that 2.5 million each year by 2020, making tourism the leading sector in one
of Africa's fastest growing economies.
Tourism, which earned the country $2.9 billion in the 2014/15 fiscal year according to government
data, contributes about 4.5 percent of the country's GDP and generates about a million jobs
according to the World Bank. Ethiopia plans to boost revenue from the sector to over $3.5 billion
in the current fiscal year, which will be bigger than its more tourist established neighbors Kenya
and Tanzania.
Ethiopia's cultural wealth like its 13th century underground churches of Lalibela, hewn from solid
rock and the hill castles of Gondar are its big selling point. It's also grown more and more popular
for travelers as it's a safer and affordable destination.
The country has embarked on massive infrastructure spending that saw Africa's first light train
cutting though the sprawling city of Addis Ababa launched in last September. This has a
continuation construction of a train route from Djibuti to Addis or Dry port area Mojo, which is 20
km away from Deberezit, where our guest house is located. With the spirit of all these, growing
number Tourists, Big Conferences, international meetings and the favorable situation of the
infrastructure construction development in the country with annual GDP growth, which will
fueled the number of new construction hotels as part of the plan to make Ethiopia as one of the top
five tourist destination in Africa by 2020.

Despite an increase in the number of tourist arrivals, however, this strategic target “seems unlikely
to be achieved with the current rates of inbound tourist arrivals in the country,”
So, taking this demand and supply gap analysis and the country future opportunity with the new
boosting tourism business in the country the sector is still in of need additional investment in the
hotel sector.
Taking an opportunity of tourism and the study analysis carried out for this market situation and
other national opportunity our company take part an investment in the sector in order to be
benefited from local sporadic market conditions and be part of national development through
creating business opportunity to the professional, resource of foreign currency and tax payment
from the profit obtained from the service provided by the hotel. .

3 Project Background
Ethiopia is a political and commercial powerhouse of Africa and International organizations
including AU and UN. These days cities in the country including Addis Ababa, Regional cities and
nearby these cities thriving hotel market, both domestically as well as internationally. As a country
of distinct cultural and historical wealth it represents an important travel destination with a
balanced demand base in terms of corporate and leisure tourism. Basically, hoteliers in Ethiopia
and regional cities benefit from the very good market characteristics and hence reported
remarkable performance growth during the last decade
The hotel industry in Ethiopia is signified by a substantial gap between demand and supply. This
creates a big business opportunity for those planning to enter into the sector.
“The total number of international tourists arriving in Ethiopia is steadily increasing. As a gateway
to all international inbound, outbound and transit tourists/passengers, Addis Abeba has been taking
the lion’s share in the country’s tourist arrivals hosting an estimated 95-99% of the total
international tourist arrivals,” they said. Being a popular conference venue is also helping the city
attract more visitors each year. “Conference tourism has a great potential and is poised to gain
greater significance.”
While the conference tourism is in boom situation Ethiopia, cities specially Addis Ababa and
regional cities such as Awassa, Baherdar, Gonder and other surrounding nearby major cities have
not sufficient supply of hotels, guests houses and furnished living room for guests. According to
data obtained from World Hospitality Group, Ethiopia has only six internationally branded hotels
with just 990 rooms, a fact that is alarming news to the country that striving to make the country
main destination in Africa and hotel owners at large. “Most of the hotels that were built five or six
years ago didn’t have bedrooms more than sixty. There was uncertainty. It was only later that
investors began to dare in the amount and size of their investment.”
Dereje Asnake

Though, Addis Ababa took the lion share in this sector, these opportunities in general are brining a
water fall or sprinkle down effect for regional and nearby addis Ababa cities down to the rift vally
and south of the country. The benficeries of south cities are: Awassa, Debrezit, Adama, Shasemene
and other small cities where the wild life are simply seen and visited.
Ethiopia overall growth and the continued progress in the tourism industry is forecast by the World
Travel & Tourism Council to be 4.8% per annum over the coming decade. Increasing the supply of
high-quality, top-end hotel accommodation through hotel construction is necessary for improved
competitiveness and the economic success of the sector.
The government vowed to reverse this unfortunate trend and help Ethiopia benefit from the
tourism sector. It was to reduce this dilemma that two organs, the Tourism Transformation
Counsel and the Ethiopian Tourism Organization were established. The former provides leadership
and set guidelines for the country’s tourism marketing initiatives while the later serves as a
secretariat for the former. The two new offices are tasked to transform the industry as the country
aims to earn around US$150 million in 2014/15 from the sector.
Take this big opportunity and have a benefit from all these big market situation our company is
constructed G+3 guest house living room in Beshoftu, which is only 30 minutes drive from Addis
Ababa to south of Ethiopia. The Beshoftu city is surrounded by more than five first class lodges,
which have all facilities including boat rent service for visitors and tourists who are board around.
These facilities are not even available except some swimming services in city big first class hotels.
Deraje Asnake hotel, considering this vast recreational facilities and the city location as an out let
for southern part of the country, where many business activities are pass through to Djibouti and
other public recreational zone are the opportunity for the intended investment.
Hence, this project is developing in order to get a market benefit from the fertile situation in
tourism sector in the country as well as to create an employment opportunity to women and youth
sector of the citzens

6 Location Analysis
6.1 Physical Setting
Addis Ababa was founded in 1886 as a capital city of Ethiopia. It is located almost at the center of the
country within an altitude of about 2,400 meters above sea level. The City has an estimated population
of about 4.5 million people. Addis Ababa contains 22.9% of all urban dwellers in Ethiopia, with an estimated
area of 530.14 Square Kilometers (204.69mi). The current urban growth rate in Ethiopia is estimated at
4.1%; however, others have estimated an annual growth rate as high as 8% for the city of Addis Ababa.
Therefore, it is the largest and the most populated city in Ethiopia. The city is divided into 10 sub-cities
which are run by the City Administration.
Furthermore, Addis Ababa City is the seat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
(UNECA) and the African Union (AU), what makes call Addis Ababa as the capital of Africa
Various investments undertaken have been attracted to the area to utilize the available demand potential
for services, which is because of the existence of vast end users. Availability of physical and social
infrastructure facilities such as; access of main asphalt road, telephone service and others, make the project
effective.
Based on the above facts, the following points taken by the owner as a project justification behind
selection of this project area:
Dereje Asnake

the proposed project of hotel will planned to be located in Addis Ababa Bole sub city woreda 11
Town. Addis Ababa is the capital and largest city of Ethiopia. It is the seat of the Ethiopian federal
government. According to the 2007 population census, the city has a total population of 2,739,551
inhabitants. The total land size the promoter requesting for the implementation of the project is
estimated at 974 square meters, which will been obtained from investment commission of Addis
Ababa city administration Hence the owners select Addis Ababa for proposed project by looking
every aspects of business integrity tourist area. As a chartered city (ras gez astedader), Addis
Ababa has the status of both a city and a state. It is where the African Union is and its predecessor
the OAU was based. It also hosts the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission
for Africa (ECA) and numerous other continental and international organizations. Addis Ababa is
therefore often referred to as "the political capital of Africa" for its historical, diplomatic and
political significance for the continent
Climate:
Addis Ababa has a subtropical highland climate. The city has a complex mix of highland climate
zones, with temperature differences of up to 10 °C (18 °F), depending on elevation and prevailing
wind patterns. The high elevation moderates temperatures year-round, and the city's position near
the equator means that temperatures are very constant from month to month. As such the climate
would be maritime if its elevation was not taken into account, as no month is above 22 °C (72 °F)
in mean temperatures.
Geography:
Addis Ababa lies at an elevation of 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) and is a grassland biome, located at
9°1′48″N 38°44′24″ECoordinates: 9°1′48″N 38°44′24″E. [14] The city lies at the foot of Mount
Entoto and forms part of the watershed for the Awash. From its lowest point, around Bole
InternationaAirport, at 2,326 metres (7,631 ft) above sea level in the southern periphery, the city
rises to over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in the Entoto Mountains to the north 3.3.3. Demographics: As
of the latest 2007 population census conducted by the Ethiopian national statistics authorities,
Addis Ababa has a total population of 2,739,551 urban and rural inhabitants. For the capital city
Dereje Asnake
Page 23
G
662,728 households were counted living in 628,984 housing units, which results in an average of
5.3 persons to a household. Although all Ethiopian ethnic groups are represented in Addis Ababa
because it is the capital of the country, the largest groups include all nation nationality 3.3.4.
Infrastructure and economic status Economy:
The economic activities in Addis Ababa are diverse. According to official statistics from the
federal government, some 119,197 people in the city are engaged in trade and commerce; 113,977
in manufacturing and industry; 80,391 Homemakers of different variety; 71,186 in civil
administration; 50,538 in transport and communication; 42,514 in education, health and social
services; 32,685 in hotel and catering services; and 16,602 in agriculture. In addition to the
residents of rural parts of Addis Ababa, the city dwellers also participate in animal husbandry and
cultivation of gardens. 677 hectares (1,670 acres) of land is irrigated annually, on which 129,880
quintals of vegetables are cultivated.[citation needed] It is a relatively clean and safe city, with the
most common crimes being pickpocketing, scams and minor burglary.[37] The city has recently
been in a construction boom with tall buildings rising in many places. Various luxury services
have also become available and the construction of shopping malls has recently increased.
According to Tia Goldenberg of IOL, area spa professionals said that some people have labeled the
city, "the spa capital of Africa."[38]
Tourism: Tourism is a growing industry within Addis Ababa and Ethiopia as a whole. The
country has seen a 10% increase in tourism over the last decade, subsequently bringing an influx of
tourists to Addis Ababa. In 2015, the European Council on Tourism and Trade named Ethiopia the
#1 tourist spot in the world
Development: The city hosts the We Are the Future center, a child care center that provides
children with a higher standard of living. The center is managed under the direction of the mayor's
office, and the international NGO Glocal Forum serves as the fundraiser and program planner and
coordinator for the WAF child center in each city. Each WAF city is linked to several peer cities
and public and private partners to create a unique international coalition. Launched in 2004, the
program is the result of a strategic partnership between the Glocal Forum, the Quincy Jones Listen

Up Foundation and Mr. Hani Masri, with the support of the World Bank, UN agencies and major
companie
Education: Addis Ababa University was founded in 1950 and was originally named "University
College of Addis Ababa", then renamed in 1962 for the former Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I
who had donated his Genete Leul Palace to be the university's main campus in the previous year. It
is the home of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies and the Ethnological Museum. The city also has

Road: The construction of the Addis Ababa Ring Road was initiated in 1998 to implement the
city master plan and enhance peripheral development. The Ring Road was divided into three major
phases that connect all the five main gates in and out of Addis Ababa with all other regions
(Jimma, Debre Zeit, Dessie, Gojjam and Ambo). For this project, China Road and Bridge
Corporation (CRBC) was the partner of Addis Ababa City Roads Authority (AACRA). The Ring
Road has greatly helped to decongest and alleviate city traffic

8. MARKET STUDY
8.1 General Market View
Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II), a second five year grand plan, the Ministry
of Culture and Tourism has a vision to make Ethiopia one of the top five tourist destinations by
2020. Despite an increase in the number of tourist arrivals, however, this strategic target “seems
unlikely to be achieved with the current rates of inbound tourist arrivals in the country,” say Ebisa
and Andualem.
A report released in June 2014 by Fast Market Research, a distributor of market research and
business information, states that the number of domestic trips within Ethiopia has reached 8.1
million people while international trips were merely more than 660 000 with the main source
countries being China, the US, Nigeria and Sudan. The number showed a 12% increase from the

previous year. For a country which has its own fair share of historical, cultural and natural
attractions in the continent, and is one of the safest destinations, this is not a performance to pride
with.
Third only to Brussels (185) and Washington DC (176), Addis Abeba is home to 118 diplomatic
missions accredited to both the government in Ethiopia, the AU and the UN¬ECA, which adds to
the increasing trend in the number of conventions held year in, year out.
One familiar month when Addis Ababa becomes crowded with diplomats, lobbyists, journalists,
and aid workers is the month of January, when the AU hosts its bi-annual summit for heads of state
and government. The 86 hotels, according to Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and 118 B & B
Inns, and 18 specialty lodgings, according to Trip Advisors, become utterly short of the demands,
forcing conference participants to book at expensive lodges and resorts outside of the city.
Although the January AU summit is the landmark of huge gathering in the city, Addis Abeba is
never short of other small and medium range regional and international conferences. “This
unfortunate gap of demand and supply often leads to not only unethical exploitations by hotels of
desperate customers, but also the provision of substandard service which forces many customers to
think twice before boarding a flight bound for Addis Ababa,” said Elias. and the quest for
professionalism
According to unofficial estimates from the AHA, approximately one hotel joins the market every
month and that number may rise up to 1.5 hotels a month in the coming few years. Thanks to both
local and international architects commissioned by developers, a number of dazzling buildings are
giving the city a new look. However, there are cases in which the scene behind the glamour is not
so attractive.
“It is not the building that makes a hotel a hotel. It is the flawless combination of the right people,
the right prices and the right technology providing an Projection of Tourist Arrival (projected and
unsatisfactory demand) unforgettable service,” says Elias.

Once guests have made reservations or have stayed at the Manor, a quarterly newsletter will be
sent to each guest as a way to let customers know what is going on, new specials, and continually
keep them informed and aware of the Manor. Looking at typical general spending, we can select
rates that are all inclusive and guests are likely to pay for throughout the year. Finally, it will be
important to establish deals with the mountains, golf course, and local attractions in order to be
able to create packages.
As travelers become more „thrifty‟ this will help to create opportunities for those who may not
want to pay for everything on a solitary basis.
The baby boomer generation encompasses the greatest number of travelers that can share their
experience with friends and family. Their referrals will also bring in more guests giving us the
opportunity to give repeat visitors discounts for referring friends and family.

Potential B&B guests travel for many reasons: business, change of scenery, recr
eation activities, sports, cultural events, or a chance to see new communities or
sites.
The strongest market segment in many Bishoftu communities is the business tr
aveler.This segment includes construction workers, education professionals, gov

ernment agencies, service workers, and geological and social surveyors. Althoug
h Natives traveling for council meetingss, training, and cultural events stay with
local friends and relatives, they could be an additional market.
A B&B operator on a limited budget must think creatively about how to get the word out. Marketing is not
about spending money on fancy brochures, but figuring out how to convince a guest to stay at your B&B. S
ome strategies include:
Flyers
Internet
Trade shows
Newspaper ads
Direct mail to targets
Yellow pages
Press releases
E-newsletter
Referral program
8.6 CHALLENGE/OPPORTUNITY
The challenges promoter’s faces are numerous but can be offset with opportunities that will give it
a competitive advantage over existing accommodations in the area.
As the Dereje Asnake is a new establishment, it will be difficult to gain recognition in the first
year; however being directed at the older generation of tourists, it will be designed to take into
consideration their wants and needs and provide exceptional quality service.
While this generation is the core target market, recent environmental trends may limit the initial
number of guests. However, research shows that this is the greatest traveling market in history,
even though many baby boomers may face economic struggles making leisure vacation a luxury.
Dereje Asnake
Page 32
G
In order to fight this trend, directing the Manor at the largest traveling market will make it easier to
draw in those guests that can afford to vacation. Low prices will also provide incentives for them
to enjoy a getaway.
Competitors in the area are numerous and it is therefore essential that the Dereje Asnake stand Out
with reasonable affordable price and special kind of package for our customer, which makes our
service provision became something different from other hotels and guest houses. Marketing
through similar lines will allow the bar & restaurant to get its name next to the already
established lodging. There are numerous competitors in the market, targeting this niche of the
market is intended to limit opposition from other opponents.
As Addis Ababa, seems to be a very seasonal destination, it will be imperative that the Promoter’s
capitalize during these months in order to make it through the slow months. Because the Manor
only offers five rooms, it is more than likely that full occupancy will not be a problem during these
seasons. Offering additional promotions and specials during the off season will entice visitors as
well.
Another Major Challenges of the Hospitality Industry in Ethiopia, “ is finding the right people to
the industry. Like many other sectors in the country, the hotel industry is a sector suffering from a
lack of professionalism. This identified by professionals and reported that a human resource
management and worker turnover as major problems. “An excellent hospitality business cannot be
excellent in its operation and service without professional employees in the field. What is observed
[so far] in the hospitality industry is employment based on kinship, ethnicity or religion; paying
very low wages and salaries,” to overcome such problem in Our hotel we had planned in advance
to train our own staff in renown hotel training center followed by on job training in our locality
hotels. .

8.7 SHORT AND LONG TERM PROJECTIONS
To gain presence, we must secure some of the market. In order to do this, we will come out with a
marketing campaign that will focus on the younger generation who mostly spent leisure time in
nearby cities and other many recreational area in the Addis Ababa cities of the countries as part of
a place dedicated to them.
Looking at the target markets in the next section, we can concentrate our attention on country
tourists and first time visitors. By gaining market share and a constant flow of visitors, we will be
able to reach our final goal of earning a profit.
Though, The first year seems be the bit difficult till the marketing and promotion activities are
done, but due to the nearness of the location to the main city Addis Ababa, availability of number
of resorts’ which have cost around our location, the pass by travelers to the southern cities of the
country and most recreation area of the country such as and many other recreational centers favors
our market niche to be stable and makes our products demandable. Asanke it will be the most
costly and revenues appear to challenge the stability during the off seasons. The financial plan
shown previously shows that
It is not the building that makes a hotel a hotel. It is the flawless combination of the right people,
the right prices and the right technology providing an unforgettable service will bring our profits
will be achievable. Taking all these challenging and opportunities, however we expect to see some
Dereje Asnake

profit within the first and consecutive working years at our estimated occupancy rates. This profit
can then be used for further investments into long term projections.
Generating greater occupancy rates will lead us to our next projection which would be to make the
B&B and profitable business. After paying off the commercial loan, we will be able to direct
funds to paying down the mortgage at a quicker rate and using revenues to invest back into the
B&B. Starting with 5 bedrooms, we hope to expand in the future. This will allow for an increase
In property value and revenues with nothing more than renovating the property or building a new
structure, inside the hotel premises.

Further, at the back side of the hotel there is an area with total of 1000 Sq meter free space for
expansion. In coming three or less years depending the market condition we had a plan to construct
Ground 2 + 5 building for three or more star standard hotel.
