Park Inn by Radisson, a midscale hotel brand of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, has announced the opening of its first hotel in Najran, Saudi Arabia.

The 113-room hotel is located on King Saud Road in the Al Fahad District, just a few minutes away from the ministries, Aramco, and the industrial zone. This opening takes the group’s Saudi portfolio to 38 hotels, and over 10,000 rooms in operation and under development.

Tim Cordon, area senior vice president, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group said, "We are very pleased to announce the opening of Park Inn by Radisson Najran in Saudi Arabia. We have seen the market within the kingdom grow through increased domestic travel, a short supply of midscale hotels especially for corporate travellers and the sustained growth of religious tourism. The upper midscale Park Inn by Radisson brand will continue to gain momentum as we launch new hotels in key cities and secondary locations across the Middle East, Turkey & Africa.”

Park Inn by Radisson Hotel, Najran is situated on King Saud Road, the main highway that connects Najran to the kingdom’s primary cities. The hotel overlooks Najran Football Stadium and is close to the city’s shopping centres, while a number of historic attractions surround the city such as Turki Al Madi Palace, Raoum Castle and Najran Valley Dam.

The hotel features a range of guest rooms and executive suites with individual climate control, mood lighting system and free high-speed wireless internet access.

For dining and relaxation, the hotel’s “Live-inn room” concept, offers a common social space where guests can enjoy breakfast. The RBG restaurant provides a modern, international dining experience for lunch and dinner. The Shisha Lounge Cafe offers relaxing space to enjoy a selection of beverages and snacks.
