Believing that Ukraine’s highway construction will create a US-style long distance driving culture here, two Kyiv expats are raising $50 million to build a string of 10 hotels in the suburbs of Ukraine’s major cities. The 3-star hotels would have 100-120 rooms, would follow international standards, and would be paired with McDonald’s for food and beverage. Drivers behind Force One hotel chain are: Terry Pickard, chairman of Pickard Real Estate & Asset Services, and Jesper Henriksen, former Ukraine manager for Radisson Hotel Group.
