| Cologne,
March 2011 – EVENT Hotels are expanding in Sweden and have now
also
acquired the ibis Hotel in Malmö. This 255-room hotel is ideally
situated in an
up-and-coming industrial region, near the Swedbank Stadium and the
Malmö Arena.
Only a short time ago EVENT Hotels announced their entry to the Swedish
market
and extended their portfolio with 18 further hotels. EVENT Hotels now
operate
18 hotels at various locations throughout the country – from Sundsvall
in the
north to Malmö in the south of Sweden. They will be run under the
brand name
Accor. The acquisitions were made in partnership with the Swedish
venture
capital company Sveafastigheter. Anders Braks, the spokesman for EVENT Hotels, announced extensive refurbishments. As at the other hotels, at ibis Malmö the 255 guest rooms, the public areas and the conference rooms will get a new design. Bright, fresh colours and modern furnishings and equipment will then characterise the hotel’s appearance. “We take these measures at all newly acquired properties in order to enhance the competitiveness of our hotels”, says Braks. About EVENT Hotels Since 1993 EVENT Hotels have taken an active role as a hotel investor and operator in Germany, France and Sweden. The company currently manages or owns 113 hotels in the two- to five-star segment with a total of 11,900 rooms. With only a few exceptions, all the group’s hotels are linked by franchise agreements to international hotel brands, including Rezidor (Radisson, Park Inn), Westin, Marriot, Nikko and the Accor brands ibis, all seasons and Mercure. |
