The most significant opening was the Radisson Blu Hotel, Istanbul Pera - a new First Class property featuring 130 rooms and being Rezidor's 4th Radisson Blu hotel in Istanbul. A further Radisson Blu hotel in Istanbul is scheduled to open in late 2013 and will make Rezidor the largest international upper upscale hotel operator in town; offering 5 Radisson Blu hotels with a total of 1,000+ rooms. Rezidor also targets further key destinations across Turkey - an economically strong hub between Europe and Asia - for an ambitious development of the core brands Radisson Blu (upper upscale) and Park Inn by Radisson (mid-market).

Among Rezidor's signings in Q2 2013 were 2 hotels in sub-Saharan Africa where the group already operates 15 hotels with 3,000 rooms and holds the largest pipeline of internationally branded rooms under development (22 hotels with 4,000 rooms): The Park Inn by Radisson, Kigali in Rwanda with 161 rooms is scheduled to open in early 2013; and the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel Abuja, Kaura in Nigeria with 150 rooms shall welcome the first guests in early 2015. "Sub-Saharan Africa's politically stable capital cities and financial hubs offer high potential development options. We aim to establish Radisson Blu as the premier upper upscale brand in the region and to pursue a scaled growth of our mid-market offer Park Inn by Radisson", said Elie Younes, Senior Vice President & Head of Group Development of Rezidor.

Among the signings in Rezidor's European home markets was the Radisson Blu Hotel, Rouen in France: The 91 rooms-property in walking distance from Rouen's railway station brings Rezidor's French portfolio to 23 hotels in operation and under development, and further strengthens Radisson Blu as the largest upper upscale brand in the country. Rouen itself is the capital of the Haute-Normandie region and driven by heavy industry - it is e.g. home to the head offices of Renault and Peugeot.
