The Pension Fund of the Republic of Turkey Appoints
Radisson SAS to Operate the Hotel Stad in Ankara
Brussels, July 2002... Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts recently signed an agreement with The Pension Fund of the Republic of Turkey to operate one hotel in Ankara and one in Istanbul, the company's second property in the city.
 
Ankara

A renovation of the current Hotel Stad is in progress and the new Radisson SAS Hotel is planned to open in late 2004, offering 190 guestrooms, one restaurant, a bar and meeting rooms.  The Hotel Stad was one of the first skyscrapers in Ankara, located close to the main cultural and business center, overlooking the city park, former parliament, the State Opera and Ballet and the Central Bank. 

Located in the heart of the Anatolia region, Ankara, the capital of Turkey, provides easy access to visitors with regular international and national flights via the city's Esenboga Airport.  A coach and railway network

Ankara, Turkey
connects most Turkish towns and many major European cities.  Although traditionally a town of civil servants and politicians, Ankara has increasingly become an industrial center with a number of the country's largest construction companies and several trade and industrial associations.

Istanbul

When completed in 2005, the future Radisson SAS Maçka Hotel in Istanbul will have 145 guestrooms, two restaurants, two bars, five conference rooms for up to 300 people, a health club and underground parking facilities.  Located in the heart of the city's boutique shopping and business center, the hotel is within walking distance to the main convention center, overlooking Maçka Park.

As the country's principal trading and distribution center, Istanbul's location at the crossroads of the continents of Europe and Asia has made it a natural choice for many international gatherings and conferences. The city's historical monuments, museums, palaces, mosques, bazaars and sights of natural beauty provide a strong pull for the leisure market as well.

The Radisson SAS Maçka Hotel is the company's second hotel in Istanbul,
following the opening of the 246-room Radisson SAS Conference & Airport
Hotel in September 2000.

Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts currently includes 109 hotels in operation and 40 hotels under development in 37 countries and is the sole franchiser in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa for Radisson Hotels & Resorts. 
Radisson Hotels & Resorts and its parent company Carlson Hospitality
Worldwide includes 813 hotel and resort locations representing 137,830 guest rooms in 63 countries plus six luxury cruise ships sailing worldwide.
