The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces the Park Inn Trysil Mountain Resort in Norway. The property featuring
369 rooms is scheduled to open in December 2011 - just in time for the next ski
season. Park Inn by Radisson is Rezidor's young and dynamic core brand in the
mid market segment; offering a hassle free stay, a relaxed and personalized
ambiance, and comfortable rooms with modern amenities.
"The Park Inn Trysil Mountain Resort will perfectly complement our existing
Radisson Blu Resort, Trysil. We are delighted to further strengthen our presence
in our key home market Norway and to also further grow our chic and contemporary
resort portfolio", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. The new hotel
is developed and built by the company Peab, and owned by Peab and SkiStar in
equal parts.
Minutes from the slopes, the resort will comprise 369 rooms, suites and
apartments with up to 3 bedrooms, making it the ideal destination for family or
friends travelling together. Further services will include a restaurant, a bar,
a wellness area including indoor swimming pool, sauna and 12 treatment rooms,
and a conference centre with a 425 square meter ballroom as well as with several
meeting rooms.
Trysil is located in South-eastern Norway, 2.5 hours drive from Oslo. It is one
of Scandinavia's premier ski resorts and attracts a significant international
business. For the non-skier, Trysil offers a first-class golf course, canoeing,
fishing, cycling, and hiking in a beautiful nature.
Once the Park Inn Trysil Mountain Resort opens, Rezidor will have 25 hotels in
operation or under development in Norway. "6 of those hotels are Park Inn by
Radisson properties. With Radisson Blu already present in nearly every primary
and secondary Norwegian city, our growth strategy is now heavily focused on Park
Inn by Radisson", ended Ritter.
