The Park Inn by Radisson Donetsk has a prime location in the city centre: Pushkin Boulevard is the city’s main pedestrian street and home to numerous cafes, restaurants, and monuments. Across the street is the recently re-designed Shcherbakov Park, which hosts events and festivals (including the “Fan Zone” during Euro 2012). The main square, Opera and Ballet theatre, large-scale shopping malls and numerous corporate offices are in the immediate area. The hotel is already under construction and will open in Q2 2012, with 175 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, meeting rooms, gym and outdoor parking.

Donetsk has large mineral resources and is one of the most economically important cities in the Ukraine. Moreover, Donetsk’s new “Donbass Arena” will host five key matches during UEFA Euro 2012 (hosted jointly by Poland and Ukraine) including the semi-final.
