Carlson Rezidor continues its development in Eastern Europe with the opening of a property under the Park Inn by Radisson brand, in the city of Zalakaros, Hungary. Located close to the Gránit Thermal and Medical Bath spa complex and not far from the Lake Balaton region, it is the fourth hotel of the group to be established in the country. It offers 211 rooms and 25 suites, as well as a restaurant, a lounge bar and meeting rooms. Guests can also benefit from the Gránit Spa, which includes a fitness center and an indoor swimming pool.

“We are delighted to expand our presence in Hungary by adding Zalakaros to Sarvar and Budapest,” says Yilmaz Yildirimlar, Area Senior Vice President for Central and Southern Europe, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. ”We believe that Park Inn by Radisson brand has an incredible potential in the popular mid-market hotel segment across Europe".
