Rezidor and Winn announce the Radisson Blu Riverside Hotel Gothenburg, Sweden

The  Rezidor Hotel Group, one of  the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide,
and  Winn Hotel  Group announce  the Radisson  Blu Riverside Hotel Gothenburg in
Sweden.  The  property  featuring  266 rooms  is  scheduled to welcome the first
guests in Q1 2013.

"This signing brings our portfolio in the Nordics to 65 hotels with 15,000 rooms
in  operation and under development  - over 4,000 of these  rooms are located in
Sweden",  said Kurt  Ritter, President  & CEO  of Rezidor.  "We are delighted to
realize  this new project in cooperation with Winn, a well-trusted and long-term
partner  of Rezidor", added Ritter. Winn also operates Rezidor's hotels Park Inn
Solna,  Park Inn Uppsala, the  future Radisson Blu Uppsala  (expected to open in
2012) and  the recently signed Park Inn hotels in Lund and Helsingborg (expected
to  open in  2013) under franchise  agreements. The  new Radisson  Blu Riverside
Hotel  Gothenburg will  be developed  and owned  by Skanska,  one of the world's
largest construction companies.

The  Radisson Blu Riverside Hotel Gothenburg  will be situated by the Lindholmen
Science  Park just outside the  city centre and directly  on the waterfront - on
the  North bank of the Gothia River. "Lindholmen Science Park located in the old
wharf  area of Gothenburg is today one  of the fastest developing business areas
in  Sweden. More than 18,000 people work and  study in this cluster of more than
275 companies  growing by the  day. There is  a great need  for a hotel, and the
Radisson  Blu Riverside Hotel  Gothenburg, a fantastic  asset, is much awaited",
said Anders Junger, President & CEO of Winn Hotel Group.

The new hotel will be located at a 10 minutes drive away from Rezidor's existing
hotel  in town, the 349-room Radisson  Blu Scandinavia Hotel Gothenburg. Besides
266 elegant  guest rooms  and suites  featuring Radisson  Blu signature services
such  as free high speed internet access, the property will offer a contemporary
restaurant  and bar,  150 square metres  of meeting  space, a  heavenly spa with
indoor pool, sauna, gym and treatment rooms, and next door parking.

Gothenburg  is  Sweden's  second  largest  city.  Its  port  is  the  largest in
Scandinavia and an important regional hub for shipping and trade. Also known for
its  manufacturing and industry,  Gothenburg is home  to major plants for Volvo,
Ericsson  and SKF  (industrial products).  High tech  companies are increasingly
replacing more traditional manufacturing firms, and finance and tourism are also
key employers.
