Upgrade for Rezidor project in Stockholm: Waterfront Hotel rebranded as a Radisson Blu

The Rezidor Hotel Group has rebranded their youngest property in Sweden's
capital city: The Park Inn Stockholm Waterfront Hotel has been upgraded to a
Radisson Blu and will operate under the nameRadisson Blu Waterfront Hotel,
Stockholm. The opening of the complex which is already under development and
will feature 418 rooms as well as state-of-the-art meeting facilities for up to
3,000 delegates is scheduled for early 2011. Located in the heart of Stockholm
between World Trade Center and City Hall and next to the Central Station, the
Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel will be one of Scandinavia's leading conference
venues.

"The prime location and the high quality standards of the hotel which became
more and more obvious during the building process were the crucial factors for
the rebranding", comments Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. "As a
Radisson Blu hotel the property will also further strengthen the brand awareness
and recognition of our core brand in our Swedish home market", continues Ritter.
Rezidor is managing five more Radisson Blu hotels in and around Stockholm - the
Radisson Blu Royal Viking Hotel, the Radisson Blu Strand Hotel, the Radisson Blu
Royal Park Hotel (Solna), the Radisson Blu Arlandia Hotel and the Radisson Blu
Skycity Hotels (both at Arlanda Airport). Adding the Waterfront project, the
group controls almost 1,800 Radisson rooms in the area.

Facilities of the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel with its spectacular design and
shimmering roof top will remain the same after the rebranding, but will see
advanced levels of services and standards. Besides 418 rooms with view over
Stockholm (among them 4 suites) the property will offer an all day dining
restaurant, a bar, and a fitness centre. Meeting facilities will include a
flexible auditorium for up to 3,000 persons - the adjacent banqueting area can
host up to 2,000 guests.
