International service provider Drees & Sommer will support both the Austrian financial institution that is financing the projects and the investor, developer and operator CH-Group by providing project controlling in the execution phase. The new hotels are to be built in central locations in Irkutsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa and other cities with populations of over a million.
The next Marriott hotel in Russia will be completed in the city centre of Irkutsk in June of this year. A complex with 208 rooms and a floor area of more than 11,000 m2 is currently under construction. Other projects are scheduled to start in spring 2011, including the Marriott Hotel in Nizhny Novgorod. Work in Omsk will start in the second quarter of this year.
Opened last year, Marriott's first Russian hotel in St. Petersburg offers a total floor area of 16,900 m2 across 273 rooms, three restaurants, and nine conference rooms.
