Carlson Rezidor has announced the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel Ankara Cankaya. The new built midmarket property featuring 112 rooms is scheduled to open in Q2 2015. It brings Carlson Rezidor’s portfolio in Turkey to 15 hotels and more than 3,200 rooms in operation and under development.
“Turkey is a key focus market for us. Our core brand Radisson Blu is already the largest upper upscale brand in Istanbul, and we are delighted to now also roll out our core brand Park Inn by Radisson across the country. This signing in the capital city Ankara further strengthens our growth strategy and ideally complements the Park Inn by Radisson projects that are being developed in Istanbul, Izmir and Samsun”, said Wolfgang M. Neumann, President & CEO of Rezidor.
The Park Inn by Radisson Ankara Cankaya will be located in the metropolitan district of Cankaya; surrounded by Embassies, other governmental offices, and universities. Besides 112 guest rooms, the hotel will comprise an all-day-dining restaurant, a lobby bar, an executive lounge and 1,280 sqm meeting & event space including a ballroom. A spa, gym and pool will complement the offer. Ankara’s international airport is 30km away from the site.
Ankara is located in the heart of both Turkey and Central Anatolia and has more than five million inhabitants. The capital city’s economy is mainly driven by government services, textile, wine production and agriculture. Ankara offers a mix of historic monuments and modern architecture, and has a large selection of restaurants, bars and cafés.
Park Inn by Radisson is Carlson Rezidor’s fresh and colourful midmarket brand. It is currently being re-launched as a compelling offer for the growing guest clientele of Generation X and Y, and focuses on the three strong pillars of choice, connectivity and control.
