The 176-room, four-star hotel, which opened in 1995, is around 35 minutes driving time from the TWC’s Route 55 Casino, which is located on the Czech-Austrian border near Dolni Dvoriste, Czech Republic.

It is also 2.5 hours driving time from its Hotel Savannah/Route 59 complex, near Znojmo, Czech Republic.

For TWC, the hotel is of interest given its geographic location near the centre of Linz.

The company believes the current results will further improve after completion of planned renovations.

TWC CEO Rami Ramadan said: “We are proud to add another hotel property. This is a step forward for TWC in its strategy to grow its hotel and casino portfolio in Europe.

“We will continue to offer the best possible product and customer service to our clientele and will strive to build on the positive reputation that we have established in the regions in which we operate.
