6 Dec 2013 by GrahamSmith

Carlson Rezidor has announced it will open two hotels in Saudi Arabia in the next 16 months.

Park Inn by Radisson Riyadh Olaya is due to start welcoming guests in the first quarter of 2014, while the Radisson Blu Resort Jizan is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2015.

The 168-room Park Inn by Radisson Riyadh Olaya is located in the centre of the Kingdom's capital, between King Fahed Road and Olaya Road, and about 35km south of King Khaled International Airport.

It will include 50 suites, 340 sqm of bar and restaurant facilities, 700 sqm of meeting space and 300 sqm of "wellness" and gym space.

The 160-room Radisson Blu Resort Jizan will be Carlson Rezidor's first property in Jizan, one of Saudi Arabia's major shipping ports on the Red Sea.

It will be located 3km away from the city centre and 5km from Jizan's regional airport and will include free high-speed wifi, a 250 sqm all-day dining restaurant, a 100 sqm lobby cafe, almost 3,000 sqm of meeting and event facilities including two ballrooms, as well as a gym and an outdoor pool.

Both properties are joint projects between Carlson Rezidor as the operator and the Saudi Arabian Al Hokair Group as the owner. The existing hotel in Riyadh will undergo a renovation programme.

In October, Carlson Rezidor announced that it will open two new-build hotels in Moscow in 2016 (see news, October 25).
