Rezidor Opens Park Inn Kazan in Russia
November 2, 2010 - The brand new mid market hotel features 151 guest rooms and is very conveniently located in Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Famous sights such as the 16th century Kremlin (a World Heritage Site), the Qolsharif Mosque (Russia's largest mosque) and the Soyembika Tower are nearby; Kazan International Airport is 22 km away, and the city's main railway station 2.5 km.
The Park Inn Kazan is a common project between Rezidor and Regional Hotel Chain LLC (RHC) - in 2009, both companies signed a strategic development agreement for at least 20 Park Inn hotels across the Russian Federation. “I'm delighted to see our partnership evolving and to jointly work on an exciting project which shall make Park Inn the leading mid market brand in Russia”, said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. “Kazan is one of the major destinations for our regional hotel chain establishment and promotion of international hospitality standards across Russia's regions. We are proud to support this mission in partnership with Rezidor and to open our first hotel in Kazan as the first step in this massive roll-out initiative across the most active centres of the country's economic growth”, said Vladislav Smirnov, General Director of RHC.
Besides 151 modern and comfortable rooms (including 3 suites and 2 rooms for disabled guests) with extras like internet access, flat screen television, individual climate control, mini-bar and safe, the Park Inn Kazan offers an all-day-dining restaurant: at RBG (Red Bar & Grill) guests enjoy signature burgers and steaks fresh from the grill, soups, salads and local dishes in a relaxed and contemporary ambiance. RBG covers 200 square meters and is complemented by a bar of almost 160 square meters - serving classic New York Style cocktails, beers and drinks.
The Park Inn Kazan is also an ideal venue for meetings and events, featuring an attractive pre-function area and 3 well-equipped, flexible meeting rooms between 21 and 32 square meters. All offer daylight, individual climate control, Internet access and latest audiovisual equipment. After a day at work, guests can enjoy the fitness centre of the hotel.
The Rezidor Hotel Group has defined Russia/CIS as one of their focus areas for future business development. Out of a dedicated, full-fledged regional office in Moscow the company currently manages more than 60 hotels in operation and under development across the region. “We see a great potential for our brands in Russia and are committed to a further ambitious growth in this emerging market”, commented Kurt Ritter. Park Inn is Rezidor's young, fresh and dynamic mid market brand. Launched in early 2003 only, there are today more than 140 Park Inns in operation and under development in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
