LONDON, Jan 26, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services
and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:IILG),
announced that Anna Grand Hotel Vacation Club in Hungary has joined its
vacation exchange network. The 200-year-old hotel is set in the centre
of Balatonfüred, a historic town on the northern shore of Lake Balaton --
so large that it is often referred to as the "Hungarian Sea."
The classicist-style property has been renovated to provide members and
guests both old-world elegance and contemporary amenities that include a
gourmet restaurant, a winery, and 13,000 square foot (1,200 square
metre) wellness area with steam baths, hot tubs, and saunas. Guests can
also enjoy two indoor swimming pools, an outdoor pool, and a glass-domed
spa.
"The Anna Grand Hotel has played an important role in the history of
this area and we are very pleased to welcome such a venerable property
to our quality resort network," said Joachim Mezger, Interval
International's regional director, Central and Eastern Europe.
"Providing a high standard of quality in product and service is
extremely important to us," said Aaron Lengyel, managing director of the
Anna Grand Hotel Vacation Club. "We are convinced that vacation
ownership at Anna Grand will grow in combination with Interval's array
of member benefits, flexibility of options, and level of service, which
align very well with our business concept."
The area of Balatonfüred offers visitors beautiful scenery, including
the volcanic mountains of Badacsony, restaurants and boutiques, and
local wine made of Olaszrizling grapes that border the surrounding area.
With the close proximity of Lake Balaton, there are a number of water
sports available. Day trips to some 24 local wineries and further afield
to Budapest, Vienna, and the lower mountains of Austria also can be made.
