The Rezidor Hotel Group has announced the addition of the Radisson Blu Hotel Athens to its portfolio of European hotels. The existing
Athens Park Hotel will be rebranded as Radisson Blu Park Hotel Athens by mid December 2011.
The 152 room property is Rezidor's very first hotel in Greece - the company is now present in 65 countries across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
"Despite the recent crisis and still challenging times in Greece,
hotels in the capital city Athens perform well. We are glad to arrive in the country and that we are able to further strengthen the development of our core, upper upscale brand Radisson Blu in South East Europe," said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
The future
Radisson Blu hotel was fully renovated in 2009/2010. Further renovations are also planned for 2012. Currently, the property comprises 152 guest rooms, Gallo Nero restaurant, The Oak Room bar, St' Astra rooftop restaurant, and two conference rooms. It also features a rooftop swimming pool with views across Athens and its famous Acropolis.
The location of the hotel is in the northern part of the city centre, on Alexandras Avenue, which is one of the city's main avenues and offers excellent access to the airport and surrounding area. The hotel is situated opposite "Pedion Areos", Athens' largest park, and next to the National Archaeological Museum.
