Rezidor announces the Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel, Warsaw
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
announces their 9(th) hotel in Poland and 2(nd) hotel in Warsaw: The Radisson
Blu Sobieski Hotel featuring 435 rooms is scheduled to be re-branded in Q3
2011. Radisson Blu is one of Rezidor's core brands and the largest upper upscale
brand in Europe. It features contemporary architecture and design, innovative
service concepts, and the service philosophy "Yes I Can!" with a highly
individual and engaged approach.
The property is today known as Jan III Sobieski Hotel, Warsaw. It was designed
and built in 1992 by an Austrian-Polish team, and was named after one of
Europe's greatest monarchs, Sobieski. He ruled Poland for 22 years during the
1600s. Following his victory over the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Vienna, he
was hailed as the saviour of European Christendom. The hotel has recently been
acquired by Wenaasgruppen - the new owner will continue the extensive, ongoing
renovation programme, and the hotel will be completely re-vitalised in the
coming years.
"With now 17 properties, Wenaasgruppen is the largest single owner of Rezidor
hotels. We are thankful and delighted to further strengthen our trustful co-
operation and also look forward to further developing our portfolio in Poland -
a country clearly on the move", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
Upon completion of the renovation in 2015, the Radisson Blu Sobieski Hotel will
comprise 467 guest rooms with Radisson Blu signature services such as free high
speed internet access, and will offer two restaurants, a lounge, a wellness area
with Jacuzzis, sauna and gym, one of the largest conference centres in Warsaw
(1,400 square metres), and some retail outlets.
The location of the hotel, in the southern part of Warsaw's central business
district, is a perfect complement to Rezidor's existing Radisson Blu in Warsaw,
which is roughly 4 km north. Warsaw's Fryderyk Chopin Airport is 7 km away, and
the city's main railway station 1 km. With a prominent, corner location on a
major thoroughfare, the building enjoys excellent visibility and is already a
local landmark.
