November 22, 2012, 7:26 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide and a member of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, announces two new Radisson Blu hotels in Germany. Both are existing properties - the Radisson Blu Hotel Dortmund featuring 190 rooms will be re-branded in January 2013 while the Radisson Blu Hotel Bremen (235 rooms) will follow in June 2013. The hotels will be softly renovated over a period of 18 months.
"We are delighted to further strengthen our long term cooperation with our business partner Pandox, owner of both properties. At the same time, we grow our portfolio in Germany to 53 hotels in operation and under development, and underline the importance this home market has for us," said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
The Radisson Blu Hotel Dortmund is located in the city's peripheral area, close to the Westfalen soccer stadium and the fair and exhibition centre Westfalenhalle. The site enjoys easy motorway access and is 10 km away from the airport and 3 km from Dortmund downtown. All 190 guest rooms - including 5 junior suites - are equipped with Radisson Blu signature services like free high speed internet access. The First Class hotel also comprises two restaurants and a bar, 15 event rooms spreading over 1,350 sq. metres, a wellness area including gym, indoor pool, sauna and solarium, and a parking.
Dortmund is part of Western Germany's Ruhr area, and has 600,000 inhabitants. The city enjoys a colourful way of life, lots of green space, a variety of museums and theatres, and world-class soccer. For guests who want to experience the 150-year industrial history of the Ruhr area, Dortmund is a good place to start: The city lies directly on the 300 km long "Route of Industrial Culture" which links up art& cultural events in engine rooms, collieries, head frames and blast furnaces.
The Radisson Blu Hotel Bremen is located on the famous Böttcherstraße, Bremen's historic shopping street in the heart of the old town. Also the port and many of the city’s well-known companies lie close to the hotel. The exhibition centre, motorways and airport are just a few kilometers away. The property offers 235 rooms, including 15 junior suites, and also features two restaurants, a bar, 14 meeting rooms over a surface of 740 sq. metres, a wellness area including gym, indoor pool, sauna and solarium, and parking.
