The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces the Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam Schiphol. The 150 rooms-property is
scheduled to open in Q3 2012, and will be Rezidor's very first Park Inn by
Radisson hotel in the Netherlands. Park Inn by Radisson is a young, fresh and
dynamic mid-market brand offering a reliable and personalized stay, and great
value for money.
"We aim to bring Park Inn by Radisson to key destinations across Europe, and
Amsterdam was on top of our wish list. Once this hotel is open, Park Inn by
Radisson will have a presence at four of the five busiest airports in Europe:
London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt Rhein-Main, and Amsterdam
Schiphol", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. Rezidor is one of
Europe's largest airport hotel operators. At Amsterdam Schiphol, the group
already manages a Radisson Blu Hotel with 279 rooms.
The Park Inn by Radisson is being developed in a former office building within
the Schiphol-Rijk office park, one of Amsterdam's largest business areas which
houses global players such as KLM, TUI Airlines, and Nokia Siemens Networks. The
distance to the airport is 5 kilometres - a shuttle bus will connect hotel and
terminal in 10 minutes only. Besides 150 modern and comfortable guest rooms, the
new hotel will comprise an all day dining restaurant, a bar, a gym, and ca. 150
square metres of meeting space. On the hotel's grounds, 150 parking spaces will
be available, and guests will benefit from attractive "park & fly" packages.
The hotel investor is Chalet Group (CG), a privately held investment management
company that owns and operates approximately 90 commercial properties located
throughout the Netherlands and Germany. One of CG's specialties is the total
turnaround of former office accommodation into new commercial, leisure or even
residential centres. CG's hotel branch will hold its first Park Inn by Radisson
hotel at Schiphol, whilst continuously looking for more opportunities in (North
West) Europe to cooperate with Rezidor in new hotel ventures.
Park Inn by Radisson was created in early 2003 and has grown to more than 145
hotels in operation and under development across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Main development markets for the brand are Benelux, UK, Germany, and Russia.
