Construction of the Radisson SAS Hotel Zurich Airport to begin in 2006

Construction of the new Radisson SAS Hotel Zurich Airport is to commence at the start of 2006. The hotel will be located directly opposite the departure terminal and will feature 329 rooms and 3,700 square metres of conference space. The hotel is due for completion in autumn 2008.

"The Radisson SAS Hotel Zurich Airport will prove to be a milestone in Rezidor SAS’ development in the Switzerland region," commented Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor SAS Hospitality. "Zurich Airport is one of the most important European gateways for long-distance travellers and thus also an important hub for business travellers, thereby proving an ideal location in which to prove our service quality. In addition, the first-class Radisson SAS hotel is the perfect complement to our mid-market Park Inn Hotel in Rümlang, not far from Zurich Airport, which has already been well received by the market.”

The new airport hotel will primarily focus on business travellers and frequent flyers with facilities including spacious conference and event areas on the hotel’s 1st and 7th floors (the 1st floor event area is around 1,200 m² and the 7th floor conference area is around 2,500 m²) with state-of-the-art meeting and conference equipment and views of the airport. Leisure facilities include an inviting lobby area with lobby-bar for one-to-one meetings and a gastronomic programme tailored to the needs of airline passengers plus a fitness and wellness area.

The building will be the first hotel in Switzerland with a direct airport connection.
