Hotels to open in Sochi, Volgograd and Novgorod
The Rezidor Hotel Group has announced plans to open three more Park Inn locales in Russia. The largest of those locales is the 198-room Park Inn Sochi Riviera, which is slated to open in 2013 – just in time for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
“Rezidor has now five hotels in operation and under development in and around Sochi, and is very well positioned for the big games and the further development of this emerging tourist destination,” said Kurt Ritter, president and ceo of Brussels-based Rezidor.
Rezidor also said it will open two other Park Inn properties in cooperation with Regional Hotel Chain (RHC), one of its major development partners in Russia. The Park Inn Volgograd and the Park Inn Nizhny Novgorod will both have 150 rooms and are scheduled to open in 2013.
In 2009, Rezidor and RHC signed a strategic development agreement with the commitment to roll out a chain of up to 20 Park Inn hotels across Russia. The first hotel was opened last year in Kazan, with the Park Inn Astrakhan to follow in the second quarter of this year. Other projects include the Park Inn Sochi City Centre, the Park Inn Voronezh and the Park Inn Yaroslavl.
