There are a couple of hotels in the wintersport area, that can accommodate around 700 people. Well known hotels are the Hoteli i Shkollës së skijimit, Molika Hotel and Narcis. The only hotel with a clear website is the Woodland Hotel.
Foreign investment
In the spring of 2015, French companies signed a deal to invest 400 million euros in the ski resort. According to Kosovar officials, the future wintersport accommodation would create thousands of jobs. Brezovica would offer 128 ski-able days a year, and would offer recreation in the summertime. The New York Times wrote a long article about this. In the summer of 2016, media reported that the future of the investment was unclear because of financial reasons.
