The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
has increased their portfolio in the Romanian capital Bucharest to 718 rooms:
Besides the Radisson Blu Hotel, Bucharest (424 rooms) which opened in 2008
Rezidor has now signed an agreement to also manage 294 apartments adjacent to
the hotel. Approximately 62 of the apartments will be re-branded in December
2010, with the remainder coming in early 2011. Both the hotel and the apartment
block are under common ownership.
"Capital cities and further primary locations in Eastern Europe are an important
development market for our contemporary first class- & full service brand
Radisson Blu. We are delighted to extend our trustful co-operation with S.C.
Bucuresti Turism S.A. and to strengthen our presence in Bucharest", commented
Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
The Radisson Blu Hotel, Bucharest is already one of the largest and best-quality
hotels in town. Besides 424 modern guest rooms featuring signature services such
as free high speed internet access, the property offers various Food & Beverage
outlets: "Prime Steaks and Seafood", the Northern Italian "Caffé Citta" and the
