Release Summary: Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszów To Open in 2008
Press
Release Body: Hilton Garden Inn is pleased to announce
that it will debut the award-winning mid-priced brand in Poland
with the Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszów property
to be located in Rzeszów, Poland, through
a franchise agreement with F.H.U Bogi.
Scheduled
to open by the end of 2008, the Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszów
will form part of the Millennium Hall retail, entertainment
and business complex - the region’s largest facility of its
kind - comprising of 180 shops and restaurants, an extensive congress
and concert centre, multi-screen cinema complex and generous leisure
and fitness facilities.
Welcoming
the announcement, Wolfgang Neumann, President of Hilton
Hotels – Europe, said: “As the first international
hotel chain to debut in Rzeszów, we are confident that this
venture will be warmly received by domestic and international travelers
alike. Following the successful introduction of our first Hilton
hotel in Warsaw earlier this year, it has become clear
that there is significant demand in the Polish market for quality,
affordable accommodation in many key cities.”
Neumann
added: “The city’s historic appeal combined with
its economic development and strategic location meant that Rzeszów
was a natural choice for Hilton
Garden Inn. This is further enhanced by its excellent
air and rail links connecting it to the rest of Poland, the Ukraine,
Germany and Western Europe. We are confident that our new development
will be the first of many in Poland for our world-class portfolio
of the Hilton Family of Hotel brands.”
Located
in South Eastern Poland, some 150km from Krakow, Rzeszów
is the administrative capital of the Podharpachie Province. The
newly built 102-room hotel will be situated within the business
centre zone of Millennium Hall and will offer business and leisure
travelers a fitness area, restaurant and bar as well as conference
and meeting facilities supported by a 24-hour business centre and
limited complimentary parking.
”The
addition of the Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszów
to our growing collection of hotels in Europe shows the demand by
corporate and leisure travelers for quality accommodations,”
said Adrian Kurre, senior vice president – brand management
for Hilton Garden Inn. “We look forward to establishing
the focused service lodging option where guests can enjoy consistent
service and attributes like the Garden Sleep System bed,
Mirra chair by Herman Miller and complimentary Wi-Fi and
complimentary 24-hour business centre.”
Bogdan
Pawlowski, an investor in Millennium Hall said “We
are proud that such a prestigious hotel chain has signed its first
contract in Poland with us, as it is a very important investment
that will help us attract business people and tourists to Rzeszów.
The Hilton Garden Inn brand brings instant international
recognition and we are not only excited about introducing it into
the south of Poland, but also confident that the launch of the new
Hilton Garden Inn Rzeszów will be a huge
success.”
Earlier
this year Hilton opened its first property in Poland, the 314-room
Hilton
Warsaw Hotel & Convention Centre. The company currently
operates three Hilton Garden Inn hotels across Europe - Hilton Garden
Inn Florence Novoli; Hilton Garden Inn Rome Airport; Hilton Garden
Inn Stuttgart - and has recently announced plans to open five more,
including Rzeszów, over the coming 24 months.
