RIU Hotels & Resorts to Expand its City Brand, Riu Plaza Hotels

To Open Riu Plaza Berlin in Germany in Early 2014 and
the Riu Plaza New York Times Square in 2015


April 26, 2013
- Riu Plaza Hotels has established itself as a premium option for large events and conventions after conducting more than 3,500 events in its hotels in Panama and Guadalajara (Mexico). This reflects the accomplishment of one of the greatest challenges in the history of RIU by diversifying in 2010 with the introduction of its new brand of city hotels, making a clear differentiation from its resort hotels.

Riu Plaza Hotels, strategically positioned, draws 60 years experience from its holiday resorts which have been adapted to its urban concept in order to provide a solid product for large events and conventions.

The conference rooms at the Riu Plaza Panama and Riu Plaza Guadalajara have hosted conferences as the one attended by the former U.S. President Bill Clinton as well as the "G20 Meeting of Agricultural Chief Scientists (MACS)"; a concert from the Swedish DJ Aviccii; and social events such as the Miss Panama 2012 pageant and the LORENA OCHOA INVITATIONAL golf tournament.

The Riu Plaza Panama, with 21 meeting rooms and a capacity up to 2,500 people and the Riu Plaza Guadalajara, with 16 conference rooms and a capacity of 1,300 people, have managed to consolidate themselves as the ideal places for meetings and events as they offer the largest equipped meeting spaces within their respective cities, a specialized professional team, exquisite gastronomic offer and a large number of rooms to accommodate small and large groups.

Due to this, Riu Plaza Hotels has decided to extend its portfolio and continue expanding its  brand in the best cities of the world with the opening of the Riu Plaza Berlin (Berlin, Germany) early 2014 and the Riu Plaza New York Times Square (New York, United States) in 2015.
