Situated in Northwestern Hungary, adjacent to the Austrian and Slovakian borders, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hungary will be a premier entertainment resort, combining a variety of “Vegas-style” games, electrifying entertainment, luxurious accommodations, and international dining and shopping.

Hard Rock International has announced an agreement with EuroVegas Hungary Ltd, owned by Asamer Group and Supersberger Group, to develop Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hungary, a premium integrated world-class resort.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hungary, expected to open in early 2012, will ultimately have more than 600 guestrooms, including a variety of suites such as the brand’s Rock Star Suites, which are tailored and customized for the rock star at heart.  The new location will also feature a Hard Rock Casino providing a Vegas-style gambling experience with a variety of options of table games and slot machines.

Hard Rock Hotel Panama Obtiene Aprobación

Hard Rock Hotel Panama Obtiene Aprobación para Iniciar Ventas
El Hard Rock Hotel Panama es uno de los primeros proyectos en la Costa Pacífica de Panamá de Marca Internacional

Panamá Ciudad, Panamá – Lunes 23 de Junio 2008 – El Hard Rock Hotel Panama – un desarrollo condo hotel de 499 habitaciones, en la costa Pacífica de Panamá cuenta con la aprobación para iniciar las ventas por parte del Gobierno Panameño y el Ministerio de Vivienda. El resort integrará arquitectura contemporánea y amenidades de niveles vanguardistas inclusive cuartos accesibles por piscina, un Rock Spa® y una gama de otras innovaciones diseñadas para crear un nuevo estándar, no sólo para Panamá, pero para la región Caribe/América Central entera y el resto del mundo.

Con las escaseces extremas en alojamientos de hoteles en Panamá, el tiempo no podría ser mejor para la aprobación del gobierno para el proyecto, que traerá la inversión y empleos significativos al área de las playas en la costa Pacífica.

“Estoy muy contento con Panama y su gente, y orgulloso de estar involucrado con desarollar el Hard Rock Hotel en las playas de Panama,” dice el promotor Bryan, ” sé que esto será el lugar perfecto para este proyecto maravilloso, y un gran recurso para las personas que viven en esta área”.

Cuándo esté completado en 2010, el hotel será uno de nueve Hard Rock Hotels operando mundialmente y formará parte de otros planeados por abrir aproximadamente al mismo tiempo. Los hoteles traducen los elementos idealistas de su marca y muchos más informales Hard Rock Café (“Adora Todo, Sirve Todo”) en una experiencia de cuatro estrellas. Los Hard Rock Hoteles estan situados (ranquiados) coherentemente a la cabezera de los mercados a cuales ellos sirven en términos de ocupación y promedio diario. (La reputación de la compañía y el desempeño fueron una razón clave por la cual se vendieran sus unidades en cuestión de horas en uno de sus condo-hotels en San Diego).

El diseño eco-sensible del hotel integrará la cultura panameña y colonial con motivos de Kuna dentro de un contexto muy moderno y expansivo. La mayor parte de las unidades dentro del proyecto tendrán vistas al océano, con excepción de una pequeña sección exclusiva “state of the art” Rock Spa®. Las atracciones planeadas incluyen una piscina de 200.000 pies cuadrados (18,850 mt2), dos restaurantes de firma, una serie expansiva de Rock Star Suites, un Sky Bar y un servicio de fama mundial.

Hard Rock Hotel Slated to Open in Panama’s Pacific Coast!

For Immediate Release

HARD ROCK HOTEL PANAMA RECEIVES PANAMA APPROVAL TO BEGIN SALES
Project is the first major international brand to locate on the Pacific Ocean

Panama City, Panama Monday, June 19, 2008 – The Hard Rock Hotel Panama, a 499-room luxury condo hotel resort development on the Pacific Ocean has won approval to start condo sales from the Panama Government and Housing Authority.  The destination resort will incorporate iconic contemporary architecture, cutting edge amenities including swim-up rooms, a Rock Spa, and a range of other innovations designed to create a new standard, not only for Panama but for the entire Caribbean/Central American region and the rest of the world.

With the extreme shortages in hotel accommodations in Panama, timing could not be better for the   government approval for the project, which will bring significant investment and employment to the Pacific beach area.

“I am very fond of Panama and its people, and proud to be involved in bringing the Hard Rock Hotel Resort to the beach in Panama,” says developer Bryan, “I know that this will be both a perfect place for this wonderful resort, and a great resource for the people who live in this area.”

When completed in 2010, the hotel will be join nine Hard Rock Hotels currently operating worldwide and a number of others planned to open at roughly the same time. The hotels translate the idealistic brand elements of the much more informal Hard Rock Café’s (“Love All, Serve All”) into a four-star travel experience. Hard Rock Hotels are consistently ranked at the top of the markets they serve in occupancy and average daily rate. (The company’s reputation and performance was a key reason a previous condo hotel offering in San Diego sold out its available units within hours.)

The eco-sensitive design of the hotel will incorporate Panamanian culture from Spanish colonial to Kuna motifs within a very up to date, expansive context. Most of the units within the project will have ocean views, the exception being a small, exclusive section centered on the state-or-the-art Rock Spa ®. Planned attractions include a 200,000 square foot pool, 2 signature restaurants, expansive Rock Star suites, a sky bar, and the Hard Rock’s world famous service.
