Rezidor SAS Hospitality, the Brussels-based multi-brand hospitality company, announces the opening of its first Park Inn hotel in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Park Inn Azerbaijan, located in the city of Baku.

The hotel’s architect is Kazim Ispahani, who had worked previously with Rezidor SAS on other projects including the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in St. Petersburg and the Radisson SAS Stad Hotel in Ankara. Ispahani’s design includes a blend of marble, wood and glass-work throughout the hotel, giving it a bright and vibrant interior unlike the traditional oriental style found in many hotels in the area.

The Park Inn Azerbaijan joins its sister hotel in Baku, the Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel. “We are very excited about the new addition to the growing portfolio of Rezidor SAS. The company plans to expand very fast in Russia and CIS and open 50 hotels under various brands, including Radisson SAS, Park Inn and our latest addition - Missoni hotels,” says Marko Hytonen, area vice president, Rezidor SAS.

The property is owned by Qlobal Invest Kompani Ltd., a member of ISR Holding.
