The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces the signing and opening of the Park Inn Dresden, Germany. The 132
rooms-property, a former Tulip Inn, will be bookable in Rezidor's reservation
system by end of March. "This hotel is our third property in Dresden and further
strengthens our presence on the local and regional market. We are delighted to
once again cooperate with our partner Provent Hotels which belongs to our most
important franchisees in Germany", comments Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of
Rezidor.Provent already manages the Park Inn hotels Cologne City-West, Berlin
City-West, Papenburg and Heppenheim. "We are glad to open another Park Inn Hotel
in the beautiful and interesting city Dresden with prospects of the business and
leisure segment" announces Michael Lachmann, Managing Director of Provent.
The Park Inn Dresden is situated in Dresden Neustadt near the bank of the river
Elbe, only 15 minutes on foot away from the historic town centre. The Ministry
of Finance of Saxony, the town hall and the government seat of Saxony are in
vicinity - as well as Dresden's most famous sights such as Semperoper, Zwinger
and Frauenkirche. Besides 132 guest rooms and suites the property features a
restaurant, a lobby bar and a meeting room. It was originally opened in 1997 and
fully renovated in 2007.
Park Inn is Rezidor's young and dynamic mid market brand. Launched in early
2003 only, Park Inn today comprises more than 135 hotels with a total of over
25,500 rooms in operation and under development across Europe, Middle East and
Africa. The brand with its colourful and modern identity in blue, green, red
and yellow prides itself on "mastering the essentials" delivering a great
affordable hotel experience within its class.
Dresden is the capital of Saxony, located 170 km south-east of Berlin. It has a
long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of
Saxony, who brought with them the cultural and artistic splendour that the
city's silhouette is famous for. It was then called the "Florence of the North".
The city was completely destroyed by the controversial Allied aerial bombing
towards the end of World War II. The impact of the bombing and 40 years of urban
development during the East German socialist era have considerably changed the
face of the city. Today, Dresden's legendary sights have been carefully restored
- the town belongs to Germany's most famous and beautiful destinations and is
part of a growing economic area in the East of the country.
