WDA promotes Warsaw in CNN

Warsaw Destination Alliance, a foundation established by eight Warsaw chain hotels for the city's tourist promotion, has financed an advertising film in website cnn.com. Talks with Turner Trade Group Inc. also concern showing the film in CNN television. The hotels have collected 126,000 zlotys (around 27,000 euro) in the two months of their activity. Since the hotel managers declare that 90 percent of all hotel guests give 1 euro each voluntary donations for that purpose, the conclusion is that around 30,000 persons visited Hyatt Regency Warsaw, InterContinental Warszawa, Le Royal Meridien Bristol, Mariott Warsaw, Sheraton, Sofitel Victoria, Westin, Holiday Inn and Radisson SAS hotels.

Le Regina from April

Le Regina is what the first Polish hotel of the Small Luxury Hotels group is to be called when it opens in April in an 18th century palace at Warsaw's New Town. The French Orco Group is the developer, known for the construction of such hotels as the Riverside in Prague and Andrassy in Budapest. The SLH brand mark can be seen on the fronts of more than 300 hotels in 50 countries.
