Budapest Airport issues tender

Apr 7, 2009 Logistics

Budapest Ferihegy International has issued a two-round open tender for the development of Budapest Airport Hotel, Passenger Terminal Today reported.
CEO Budapest Airport Jost Lammers said, “The Budapest Airport Hotel is one of the cornerstones of our development program. I am pleased that we issued the open tender and I expect strong competition, hence this will be the first ever hotel on the Budapest Airport site. In Western Europe the use of airport hotels is a well-established model and there is a growing need for such a hotel where parking spaces are plenty and the conference facilities are great. Hungary, and especially Budapest, is a very popular conference destination. Budapest Airport and the hotel within have a great potential.”
The winner of the tender will receive the right to develop a hotel and car park on the site of Budapest Airport and to operate it for 60 years. The deadline for the first round of the tender expires on 24 April. Following this the airport will evaluate the bids until 30 April. The two-round tender is expected to end in the summer, with construction possibly getting underway in late 2009.
According to plans, Hungary’s only airport hotel will be a four-star, seven-storey building with 250 rooms and a 167 space car park. Guests stepping out of the hotel will find themselves right in terminal 2B.
The Sky-bar will be located on the top floor of the hotel so that visitors will be able to enjoy views of the runways, the planes taking off and landing, as well as the lights of the gateway.
