The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotels
companies worldwide, has announced a new mid-market hotel in Tunisia.
The existing Hotel Riu Park El Kebir will be re-branded as Park Inn Hammamet and
open in Q2 2012 following a full renovation. It will be Rezidor's third hotel in
the country, following the group's opening of the Park Inn Ulysse Resort & Thalasso
and the award winning Radisson Blu Resort & Thalasso hotel in Djerba.
"We are delighted to further strengthen our presence in Tunisia and to come to
Hammamet – one of North Africa's first and most popular resort destinations," said
Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. "It is a pleasure for us to start our
cooperation with the CARTE insurance group which owns the new hotel, and we look
forward to further joint projects," added Ritter.
Hammamet is located on the Mediterranean coast, just 60 kilometres away from the
capital city Tunis. The new Park Inn Hammamet will feature a 300 metres of
beachfront, 4 outdoor and 1 indoor swimming pools. Further leisure offers will
comprise 4 tennis courts, 2 kids' clubs and an extensive Thalasso Spa. 4
restaurants - including a Tunisian speciality restaurant - will pamper every palate,
while 3 bars will offer the perfect spots for a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
Business guests will benefit from 600 square metres of meeting space and a 500
square metre ballroom.
Besides 273 comfortable and colourful guest rooms and suites the Park Inn Hammamet
will also offer 63 villas making it an ideal destination for families or friends
travelling together.
