Rezidor Opens Flagship Manchester Hotel
JUNE 10, 2009 - Rezidor has the opening of a new flagship Park Inn hotel in Manchester. Situated in the city centre's Green Quarter, the newly-built mid-market property - the 24th Park Inn in Rezidor's UK portfolio - offers 252 guest rooms, aimed at both business and leisure markets.
Designed to be functional and easy to use, the guest rooms have a fresh and contemporary style and offer in-room laptop-size safes, air conditioning and bathrooms with walk-in shower rooms.
Jacques Dubois, COO of Park Inn Hotels, said: "This is a key opening for the Park Inn brand, not only in the UK but also strategically for Rezidor, being our first city centre property in England's second city. The new Manchester hotel is our flagship Park Inn in the north of England and its central location and superior standard make it an exceptional addition to the Park Inn UK portfolio."
The hotel is adjacent to the MEN Arena and in close proximity to Manchester Central, the newly named convention centre and GMEX complex. Both Victoria and Piccadilly train stations and Manchester's extensive tram system are close by, with Manchester Airport only 20 minutes away in a taxi.
The hotel offers five modern and flexible meeting rooms. The open plan lobby and reception area opens into the lounge and bar and offers comfortable sofas and chairs, all with natural daylight.
Guests can relax and indulge themselves by using the extensive health and leisure facilities which include a large swimming pool, a gym, a sauna and steam room and two treatment rooms.
Having opened the first Park Inn in the UK at London Heathrow in May 2004, Park Inn hotels are now present across the UK, with locations including Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff, London and York.
