Besides 312 guest rooms and apartments the new Park Inn will offer a main restaurant with a market concept in which diners will be able to choose from a variety of cuisines.

The banqueting and conferencing facilities of the property will be extensive and include a 575 square meters ballroom as well as eight additional meeting rooms totalling 465 square meters.

For the leisure traveller, a spa, fitness centre and pool will be available to guests.

“With 32 airport hotels in operation and under development Rezidor is Europe’s leading airport hotel operator – we are delighted to extend this field to the Middle East now,” said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.

Besides the Park Inn Dubai Airport Free Zone the group will also manage the the Radisson Blu Hotel Cairo Heliopolis which will open in late 2009.
