Rezidor announces the Park Inn Almaty Airport
The Rezidor Hotel Group announces its first Park Inn in Kazakhstan at Almaty
Airport: The 133- room hotel is located adjacent to the International Airport
Terminal and will open its doors in December 2008. Almaty's airport serves many
international airlines, and has an advantageous geographical location on the
route from East Asia to Europe and back. The Great Silk Road from China to the
West has passed through this magnificent city since the earliest times. “This
new signing is in line with our growth strategy in the CIS countries - an
emerging region for our dynamic business development”, commented Kurt Ritter,
President & CEO of Rezidor.
Besides 133 guestrooms, the Park Inn Almaty Airport will offer an all-day
restaurant, 2 bars, and a conference room. The property is also located close to
the railway station (5 kilometers) with international links to Urumqi, China and
Moscow/Russia.
Kazakhstan holds about 4 billion tons of proven recoverable oil reserves and 3
trillion cubic meters of natural gas. Industry analysts believe that the planned
expansion of oil production, coupled with the development of new fields, will
lift Kazakhstan into the ranks of the world's top 10 oil producing nations by
2015. The city of Almaty also has a lot of unique architectural sites. Among
those are the bath-house Arasan and the Cathedral in the Park of 28 Panfilov
Soldiers. Other attractions include the Central Stadium, the Presidential Palace
and Republic Square, the Central Museum, the Hippodrome and the Medeu Ice
Skating Stadium.
