The Carlson and Rezidor names have come together to establish the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, with a new website due to go live imminently.
Incorporated under the new banner are more than 1,300 hotels across 80 countries, and brands such as Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Hotel Missoni and Park Plaza.
“Carlson and Rezidor have a long common history and have grown together over the past 17 years. Going to market as one is the next and natural step,” says Hubert Joly, president and CEO of Carlson.
Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor, says, “The goal of this development is to generate more attractive financial returns for the owners and greater value for all shareholders, to be perceived by business partners around the world as one global hotel company, to offer more compelling and consistent value propositions to the guests, and to offer global career and development opportunities to the staff.”
