The Rezidor Hotel Group has announced it will build new Radisson Blu hotel in Gothenburg (Sweden) together with Winn Hotel Group. The opening of the new property is scheduled for the beginning of 2013.
The hotel will be called Radisson Blu Riverside and will be located near the Gothia River and Lindholmen Science Park. This region is somewhat away from the city center, however, it may be very popular among business travellers because of walking distance to Lindholmen Science Park – one of the fastest growing business regions of the country and a place of work and studying for 18,000 people. The representatives of both companies state they cannot wait to open this accommodation in Gothenburg and hope it will become popular quickly.
This is going to be the second Radisson Blu hotel in Sweden for Rezidor. Currently the company operates the 349-key Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Gothenburg. Overall, the “Nordic” portfolio of the company estimates 65 properties (both operating and under construction) with 15,000 rooms in total. Sweden accommodations are represented by 4,000 guest rooms.
