The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces the very first Park Inn by Radisson hotel in Italy: This November, the
Grand Hotel Milan Malpensa will be transformed into the Park Inn by Radisson
Milan Malpensa. The 138 rooms-property is 10 minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport
(a convenient shuttle bus is available), and has excellent access to nearby
businesses and Milan's exhibition centers.
"We are delighted to bring our dynamic mid-market brand Park Inn by Radisson to
Italy. We also further strengthen our position as one of Europe's largest
airport hotel operators - with now over 8,400 rooms in operation and under
development, and a portfolio which includes major hubs like London Heathrow,
Amsterdam Schiphol and Frankfurt", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
"I'm very honored to take part in this great project. The first Italian Park Inn
by Radisson hotel will offer high standards. Customers will be interested in
staying at our hotel - for two main reasons: The important and well known brand,
and the closeness to the international airport of Milan Malpensa", said Luigi
Simari, owner of the hotel.
Milan Malpensa is the second busiest airport in Italy behind Rome and among the
top 25 airports in Europe. Besides servicing corporate and leisure travelers
visiting Milan, the airport is also the gateway to the resort destinations of
the Italian Alps.
The Park Inn by Radisson Milan Malpensa underwent a full renovation and re-
opened in May 2011. Besides 138 guest rooms, it features a restaurant and bar,
2 meeting halls, a gym, and a business centre.
Park Inn by Radisson focuses on reliability, personalized services and great
value for money. The innovative mid-market brand was launched in early 2003 and
comprises today 150 hotels in operation and under development across Europe,
Middle East and Africa. Rezidor concentrates on a future brand development on
major travel hubs, such as highly visible train stations and airports where
strong performance levels can be achieved.
