The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces two new Park Inn by Radisson properties in Sweden which are scheduled
to open in 2013: Park Inn Lund (190 rooms) and Park Inn Helsingborg (215 rooms).
Both hotels are owned by Midroc, and will be operated by the Winn Group under a
franchise agreement with Rezidor.
"We are delighted to announce this further agreement with our well-trusted and
long-term partner Winn", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. "These
new properties will clearly strengthen our young and dynamic mid-scale brand
Park Inn by Radisson in our Swedish home market", continued Ritter.
With a prime location, within walking distance of the city's main railway
station, the Park Inn Helsingborg will be highly visible and offer great access
to the city centre. The Park Inn Lund will also benefit from good accessibility
and visibility, located just outside the city centre, next to the ring-road.
Lund is situated in the South of Sweden, just under 20 km Northeast of Malmö.
The city has a population of around 110,000. Lund is a regional centre for the
high-tech industry with Sony Ericsson, Ericsson Mobile Platforms and other
telecommunication companies present. The Ideon Science Park is also a well-known
hub for high-tech business. Other companies with corporate headquarters present
in Lund include Tetra Pak (paper packaging) and Astra Zeneca (pharmaceuticals).
Two of Sweden's most prominent universities can also be found in Lund: Lund
University and the Lund Institute of Technology.
Helsingborg is situated approximately 50 km Northwest of Malmö, on the West
coast of Sweden, opposite the Northeastern tip of Denmark. Its population of
approximately 128,000 makes the city the 8th largest urban area in Sweden. In
addition to the global headquarters of IKEA, other companies with either
headquarters or large offices in Helsingborg include Nicorette chewing gum
(manufacturing plant) and Ramlösa mineral water. As a coastal city, Helsingborg
also boasts a large port area.
