FIVE PARK INNS BY RADISSON ON THE MARKET
Hibernia France has put five Park Inn by Radisson hotels in France on the market: the Park Inn by Radisson Arcachon, the Park Inn by Radisson Macon, the Park Inn by Radisson Orange, the Park Inn by Radisson Nancy and the Park Inn by Radisson Lyon Ouest. Comprising around 500 rooms, the five hotels made the headlines recently when Rezidor Hotel Group announced that it was terminating its lease contract for the assets,
along with two other properties in Aix-Les-Bain. The hotels are being offered freehold on an unencumbered basis. Rezidor will continue to operate the hotels as Park Inn by Radisson properties under management agreements.
AND ONE PARK INN BY RADISSON IN THE MAKING
Carrying on the Park Inn by Radisson theme, Rezidor Hotel Group is planning to open its third hotel under the brand in Hungary. The Park Inn by Radisson Zalakaros is expected to open during the first quarter of 2015 in Zalakaros, one of Hungary’s smallest cities, which is famous for its thermal springs. The 236-room hotel will join the 138-room Park Inn by Radisson Budapest, which opens this month, and the 223-room Park Inn by Radisson Sávár. Proform owns all three of Rezidor’s Park Inn by Radisson developments in Hungary. Rezidor now has 43 Park Inn by Radisson properties across Eastern Europe, either in operation or under development.
