Carlson Hotels Worldwide added 87 hotels and resorts to its network of locations last year, including 45 hotels in the US.
The company ended the year with 890 hotels operating in 70 countries. Revenues exceeded $5.1 billion, an increase of 13.3% over 2003.
“This impressive growth is also a reflection of the major strides we have made in re-organizing our company around customer and brand strategy,” said Sam Winberbottom, executive vice president of development for Carlson.
One of its brands, Regent, is on track to double its portfolio in the next two years when it opens four new hotels in the US.
The company’s hotel brands include: Regent International Hotels, Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts, Country Inns & Suites by Carlson and Park Inn.
