Rezidor signs Park Inn Steinkjer in Norway

Rezidor has signed what will be its 7th Park Inn hotel in Norway. The Park Inn Steinkjer will feature 110 rooms and is scheduled to open in Q1 2011.

Amidst the fjords and mountains of central Norway, the new Park Inn Steinkjer will feature 110 guest rooms, an all day dining restaurant, meeting space and parking.

Adjacent to the waterfront hotel are two important attractions: a water park / spa and a gallery devoted to the work of the late Jakob Weidemann.

Weidemann grew up in Steinkjer and proceeded to become one of the most influential abstract artists within Norway’s modernist art movement in the 1950’s.

The region was one of the Viking’s most important strongholds and the site of religious and seasonal gatherings. As the Viking festivals ended hundreds of years ago, demand is now generated by a mix of corporate and leisure travellers. The latter drawn to area’s impressive natural beauty.

Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor said, “Norway is one of our most important home markets – with almost 6,000 rooms in operation, the country accounts for 10% of our existing portfolio.”

Launched in early 2003, Park Inn today comprises more than 130 hotels with more than 24,000 rooms in operation or under development across EMEA.
