Two more Park Inns for Rezidor

Both hotels have sporting connections. The Lille hotel is adjacent to “one of the most technologically-advanced football stadiums in Europe, the Grand Stade Lille Métropole”, according to Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.

This 50,000 seat stadium will host the LOSC Lille Metropole football club, major conferences and other events. Construction of the stadium is under way, and it will open along with the hotel in 2012. In 2016, France will host the UEFA European Football Championship, with matches scheduled to also take place at the Grand Stade Lille Métropole.

Meanwhile Rezidor now has five hotels in operation and under development in and around Sochi, and positioning it for the Winter Olympics and the further development of this emerging tourist destination.

The Grand Stade Lille is financed, designed, built and managed by Elisa (Eiffage Lille Stadium Arena) through a public-private partnership contracted with Lille Métropole. The construction of the hotel which is part of the public-private partnership is managed by Eiffage Immobilier, the real-estate development subsidiary of Eiffage Group.

Besides 127 comfortable and colourful guest rooms, the Park Inn Lille Grand Stade will offer a restaurant and bar, a fitness room and modern meeting facilities. The hotel will also benefit from excellent transportation links, with  train stations serving Thalys and Eurostar easily accessible.

The Park Inn Sochi Riviera will be located within Rivera Park, which is Sochi’s most popular park and features a lovely beach along the Black Sea. While known internationally for winter sports like skiing, Sochi is also Russia’s most popular summer vacation spot, thanks to its miles of Black Sea beaches, warm climate (summer temperatures averaging 25 degrees Celsius), excellent shopping and vibrant nightlife. In addition to the Olympics, Sochi will also host matches during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Besides 198 comfortable and colourful guestrooms, the new Park Inn Sochi Riviera will comprise a restaurant, a bar and extensive meeting facilities. For the leisure traveller, a wellness centre with indoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam and fitness room will be available.
Rezidor is one of the leading international hotel operators in Russia and has defined this emerging region as a key growth market. Rezidor has opened a fully fledged branch office in Moscow and currently has 36 hotels with nearly 10,000 rooms in operation and under development in Russia.
