Elie Younes, EVP and chief development officer, Radisson Hotel Group,said: "We're excited to bring the Park Inn by Radisson brand to Uzbekistan, a country where tourism is growing rapidly. In 2018, Uzbekistan welcomed five million tourists - with Tashkent being a popular choice among travellers as the country's most cosmopolitan city. We're delighted to be bringing a new brand to such a vibrant region and offering this market something fresh and exciting."

Radisson's development partner for the project is LLC Lotus Gas Invest, the owner of the brand Real House, one of the leading construction companies in Tashkent.

It will be 24th Park Inn by Radisson Hotel across the Russia & CIS region, bringing the regional portfolio to 6194 rooms and maintaining its position as the largest midscale brand in the region.

The hotel will be located in Tashkent City - the largest mixed-use real estate project in Uzbekistan, which is due to be completed by Q4 2021.

Tashkent is the most visited city in Uzbekistan followed by the ancient cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. It is the cultural and political centre of the country.

The hotel will have easy access to the historic city centre and will be located six kilometres from  the international airport and four kilometres from Tashkent's main train station.
