Swissôtel Signs New Hotel in Ukrainian capital of Kyiv

Swissôtel has signed a management agreement with the KDD Group, one of the leading property and investment companies in the Ukraine, for a new deluxe hotel which is currently under construction in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. The hotel is scheduled to open mid-2012.

The Swissôtel Kyiv will form part of the “Sky Towers”, a mixed use development comprised of twin towers of 34 and 47 storeys. Sky Towers is located in Peremogy Avenue, centrally positioned close to Kyiv city centre and the main train station and is comprised of hotel facilities, serviced residences and grade A offices.

The Swissôtel Kyiv is anticipated to welcome guests for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship and features 513 guestrooms and suites, 14 serviced residences, 4000 sqm of conference space, as well as a 3000 sqm spa. Guests will be able to enjoy a selection of dining experiences ranging in selection from the fine dining restaurant to the all-day restaurant Café Swiss, as well the lobby lounge and a contemporary bar.

Meinhard Huck, President of Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts, said, “Kyiv is home to governmental ministries and authorities, but also to the mechanical engineering, aircraft industries, light and agricultural industries, as well as the state chemical industry. The Ukrainian metropolis is also one of the most important transport nodal points / centres of communication in Eastern Europe – an environment in which superior quality international hotel chains are still in short supply.”

The city of Kyiv has almost 3 million inhabitants and, along with Lviv and Odessa, is the cultural centre of Ukraine. The city on the river Dnieper has 99 academic institutions, 25 museums, numerous theatres, as well as world-famous historical landmarks.
