Šumperk - The investment company Trigema has purchased the Perk hotel in Šumperk from developer Jiří Rulísek, which recently obtained one key in the Michelin Key rating. Trigema will include the hotel in its investment fund. This was announced today by Marcel Soural, the founder and chairman of the board of Trigema. The value of the transaction was not disclosed. Rulísek developed a mountain resort in Dolní Morava in the Orlickoústecko region.

The Perk hotel previously operated under the name Grand and was opened in the summer of 2023 after a three-year renovation. It is located in a functionalist building, which is among the most prominent structures in Šumperk. According to Soural, the purchase of the Perk hotel is a strategic move for Trigema. "We see strong potential in combining premium accommodation, exceptional architecture, and an attractive location. This type of asset fits well into our long-term strategy,” he stated.

The hotel, which has a capacity of 35 rooms with 70 beds, gained new conference rooms, a wellness center, and a restaurant open to the public after the renovation. According to its investor, Ondřej Veselovský, the renovation cost more than 100 million crowns.

The original Grand hotel was built in 1931 in a functionalist style and became the center of social life in Šumperk. In 1968, its surroundings were the center of resistance against the occupation forces of the Warsaw Pact. It also appeared on the big screen, as the black comedy Krásno by Ondřej Sokol was filmed here in 2013. The history and new face of the functionalist building is presented in an exhibition at the Šumperk Regional Museum until August 6th.

Trigema is a Czech investment and development group established in 1994, focusing on residential projects. The group includes, for example, the Nahoru mountain resort and the Dog in Dock winery.

The Michelin Key is the hotel equivalent of Michelin stars, which are awarded to restaurants for exceptional culinary quality. In the Czech Republic, the award was first given last year to 11 hotels, with ten of them receiving one key, and the Fairmont Golden Prague hotel earning two keys.
