The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces their very first Park Inn in Bulgaria: The Park Inn Sofia featuring
113 rooms is scheduled to open in Q3 2010 - as a re-branding of the existing
Greenville Hotel and Apartments, Sofia. "This new property will strengthen our
presence in Sofia; it complements our successful Radisson Blu Grand Hotel which
is located opposite the National Assembly", says Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of
Rezidor.
Originally, the Greenville hotel opened in 2005. Besides 113 rooms, suites,
studios and apartments, it comprises a restaurant with an outdoor terrace, two
bars and two meeting rooms. A wellness and sports centre offers an indoor
swimming pool, fitness area and treatment rooms. The hotel is located 3.5 km
south of Sofia city centre and 7 km from the International Airport. It has
excellent access to the numerous business parks which surround the city and are
home to many international firms. Sofia's two most important congress centres,
the Inter Expo & Congress Centre and National Palace of Culture, are also in
proximity.
Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has a unique, varied
architectural style mixing east and west, with Orthodox churches, Ottoman
mosques and even Red Army monuments punctuating the skyline. With the Communism
era receding from memory, today the city offers the shopping malls, restaurants
and bars one would expect from a European capital.
With Radisson Blu properties already established in most Eastern European
capitals, Rezidor's focus has expanded to the development of Park Inn hotels in
strategically important markets. Today, further Park Inn hotels are in operation
or under development in Krakow, Bratislava, Prague, Ostrava, Sárvár and Wroclaw.
