rezidor grows johannesburg offering with second hotel annoucnement

The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the world’s fastest growing hotel companies, has announced its second hotel for Sandton, Johannesburg - The Park Inn Sandton. Featuring 192 rooms, the new property, which opens its doors in April 2010, will provide tourists and residents alike a stunning alternative to the currently under-construction Radisson Hotel Sandton - which is due to open in late 2008.

Already boasting a presence in South Africa, with the existing Radisson and Park Inn hotels in Cape Town, as well as the recently signed Radisson hotel in Port Elizabeth, this announcement is another feather in the cap for The Rezidor Hotel Group.

“South Africa is an upcoming destination for business and leisure travellers. The government has prioritised tourism as a key economic sector, and international arrivals increase continuously – we are expecting new heights in 2010 when the country hosts the FIFA World Cup,” said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of The Rezidor Hotel Group.

Launched in early 2003, Park Inn is Rezidor’s fastest growing brand with more than 100 hotels in operation and under development in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Representing a young, dynamic and colourful mid market brand, Park Inn promises “the best sleep in town” within its category. Renowned for mastering the essentials, Park Inn hotels are easy to use, safe, spotlessly clean, energetic and fun, with a warm and casual Yes I Can! service approach.
