Rezidor Announces 40th Park Inn In UK & Ireland

-- Hotels, 10/8/2008 8:31:00 AM

The Rezidor Hotel Group announces the Park Inn Southend-on-Sea. The property featuring 137 bedrooms is scheduled to open in Q2 2009 and is the 40th Park Inn in the UK & Ireland. “Park Inn is our fastest growing brand”, comments Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. “We launched the first hotel in early 2003. Today, our portfolio comprises over 100 Park Inns with more than 20,000 rooms in operation and under development across EMEA.” 

The Park Inn Southend-on-Sea will be located along Southend’s Western Esplanade, overlooking the River Thames estuary. The property, which showcases an impressive conversion of the “The Palace” building into a mixed use development, will be in the heart of the tourist area and easily accessible from other parts of town. Besides 137 rooms (the majority enjoying full sea view), the hotel will offer a bar, a restaurant and conference facilities of 350 square metres. Guests will also have access to a spa and health club, and upmarket residential apartments will be located on the top floor of the building.

The popular leisure destination of Southend-on-Sea is 40 miles away from central London and features seven miles of award-winning beaches, the longest pleasure pier in the world, and a sealife centre. In addition there are museums, theatres, art galleries and many restaurants and pubs. Southend is also an economic and financial hub for Essex and has a relatively large commercial base including a concentration of industrial parks along the A 127 highway.

Park Inn is one of the fastest growing brands in the UK, currently with 18 hotels in operation and with the announcement of Park Inn Southend-on-Sea a further 17 currently under development to open in the next two years. In addition there are four Park Inn hotels in Ireland with another planned to open in 2009.
