    building a facility in the UAE and China. Its the only brand that has the largest number of hotels, united by one brand (in the world for more than 4 thousand hotels bear the name BestWestern). In 2008 the company opened its first hotel category 5 stars in the Czech capital Prague. Seems like Europe will continue struggling to get more and more service from this hotel

The hotel is not onlyproviding exclusive services but also tries to make the emphasize on its buildings and design.
