The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces Hotel Missoni Belek, Antalya: The 138 rooms-property on the famous
Turkish Riviera will welcome the first guests in 2013. Hotel Missoni, Rezidor's
bold and fashionable lifestyle brand, debuted in 2009 - each hotel is personally
designed by Creative Director Rosita Missoni, founder of the iconic Italian
fashion house Missoni.
"We develop Hotel Missoni in carefully selected city centres and upcoming resort
destinations. Antalya is a perfect location for this exciting, design-conscious
and authentic brand", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. The very
first Hotel Missoni opened its doors in Edinburgh, Scotland - further properties
are under development in Kuwait, Oman and Brazil.
"In my many years of cooperation with Rezidor, I have been very proud of the
fact that the collaboration has always been a great success. I am looking
forward to having Hotel Missoni as the crowning icon of our new project in
Belek," added Haluk Kaya, CEO of Bekay Property Partners and owner of the
property.
Hotel Missoni Belek, Antalya will be a golf- and wellness resort located 5 km
east of the city of Belek on a hilltop overlooking olive groves, fruit orchards
and the sea. It will form an integral part of a high-profile mixed-use
development; featuring residential villas, a country club, a sports club, and
boutique retail shops. The focal point will be an 18-hole golf course adjacent
to the hotel; designed by the Swedish golf champion Annika Sörenstam.
The hotel will offer 110 stylish guest rooms and 28 luxurious villas ranging
from 200 to 900 m(2). All will feature Missoni's dazzling design and colour
scheme. Two restaurants, including the signature "Cucina Missoni", will be
available in addition to a ballroom and meeting space. For relaxation after a
round of golf guests can enjoy the 1,100 m(2) spa and leisure area, offering two
swimming pools, a spa, Turkish baths, a fitness centre, and a kids club.
Antalya is Turkey's most visited tourist area (even surpassing Istanbul!):
Visitors are drawn to its miles of sandy beaches, year-round sunshine and a
wealth of tourist and historical attractions. It is also an established golfing
destination with over a dozen courses. In Turkey - a strong and high-potential
market for Rezidor - the group has now 4 hotels in operation and 2 under
development.
