"Construction of hotels “Srbija”, “Šumadija” and “Turist” in the beginning of the seventies represented a great enterprise in the turistic economy of Belgrade. By opening these facilities, Belgrade gained a thousand beds in “B” category hotels, which, along with existing hotel capacities enabled the expansion of this economic branch, so that by the beginning of the decade, Belgrade had a full and complete turistic-business and congress offering, containing hotel capacities, sports and recreational facilities (gyms, halls, swimming pools) and full-supplied congress-center “Sava”

Hotel “Šumadija” was built in 1971. It is a “B” category hotel, with 110 rooms or 210 beds, with a restaurant and a garden, an aperitive-bar and a night-bar, a snack-bar with national cuisine, and a banquet hall.
It is situated on the Ibarska main route, in the new lodgement of “Banovo Brdo”, in the vicinity of sports center “Košutnjak” and recreational water center “Ada Ciganlija” and Belgrade Fair.
