Paris, 6th June 2011 – Louvre Hotels Group is pleased to announce that three fully-owned hotels are now incorporated into the Tulip Inn and Golden Tulip brands:

• the Kyriad Prestige, Roissy becomes part of the Golden Tulip brand;
• the Kyriad Prestige, Warsaw becomes part of the Golden Tulip brand;
• the Campanile, Antwerp becomes part of the Tulip Inn brand.

The move to the Golden Tulip brand enables the hotels located in Roissy and Warsaw to take advantage of the notoriety of Golden Tulip’s 4-star rating, well identified among the international professional and leisure clientele.
