Rezidor has signed two new hotels in Dammam: the mid-scale Park Inn by Radisson Hotel & Residence Dammam Industrial City and the upper-upscale Radisson Blu Hotel Dammam Al Faisaliyah.

The former will offer 300 units and open in 2016. The latter, with 260 keys, is scheduled to welcome the first guests in 2018.

Rezidor already operates a Park Inn by Radisson in Dammam; these new signings will increase its local portfolio to three hotels with 650 rooms and serviced apartments.

"Dammam is the capital and centre of the Eastern province and a strategically important location for us. Our growing portfolio in this key city further strengthens our network in Saudi Arabia – the Kingdom is a focus country for our group. The recent vision for the country lays further confidence for our commitment to accelrate our expansion in the country," said Rezidor president and CEO Wolfgang M. Neumann.
