As part of a cooperation agreement with Hyper Group of Companies, Accor will expand its presence in Uzbekistan with the signing of three new properties under premium brands. The signed memorandums provide for the opening of Mövenpick Samarkand and Swissôtel Tashkent, as well as the construction of the new Swissôtel Charvak hotel in Navobod village, Tashkent region. Scheduled to open in the coming years, the total room capacity will amount to over 500 rooms across the three hotels.
"With the signing of these three new projects, we significantly strengthen our positioning in the hotel market of Uzbekistan and introduce two new brands in this country – Swissôtel and Mövenpick, embodying elegant Swiss luxury and hospitality traditions. Guests of Tashkent and Samarkand will be able to enjoy visiting them in the near future," said Alexis Delaroff, COO of Accor New East Europe.
"These ancient cities are the pearls of the Great Silk Road, with beautiful architecture and traditions that cherish the memory of many centuries. Thousands of tourists come here every year and business travellers due to the considerable growth of business activity. We are confident that opening new hotels under well-known international brands will be an additional factor in choosing Uzbekistan as the next travel destination. I am grateful to our partners for their trust, and I hope that together we will be able to implement many more exciting projects in the future."
