The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel
companies worldwide, announces their 9th hotel in Poland and 2nd 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, on-going 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 in Warsaw 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.
