Not yet, but it should be announced shortly. PL can't release the info until the management company issue their own press release. PL's strength seems to be their links with hotel groups and hopefully they can introduce a good group to takeover from Barcelo.

First impressions are very disappointing! My student brother stays in Golden Tulip in Amsterdam for 20 quid per night!
Not exactly what I would have expected for a 5 star resort!
Anyone else disappointed??

Rory, I had a similar reaction when Radisson was announced as my only knowledge of them was the Radisson at Stansted which I think of as a budget travel lodge affair. Apparantly Radisson have posh hotels also.

Looking at their website, most of their hotels are 3 star. Full of tired furnishings and dodgy looking drapes in the bedrooms 
I personally, have struggled to find a nice hotel on their website.
I just don't feel it gives RT7 the best possible chance of being marketed well - if it were me and I looked up the Golden Tulip website I would be put off by the standard of hotel it offers.
Not a happy bunny at all!

Hi All,
Has anyone heard any more about the RT7 development? I have heard there has been no construction since Nov/Dec 08 and the last newsletter from Property Logic in February provided no new information whatsoever.
Andy news welcome!

Simon Boxus, the sales manager left last November and he was my main contact. I have been trying to get an updated building progress on all plots for several months now and am awaiting a response from PL. As soon as I hear something I will email everyone.

Popcorn,
I suspect PL like many building companies are experiencing financial hardship. Would be interesting to get their forecast on when these buildings will now be finished; I expect this will not be this year now. This should mean we are liable for a refund given they would have delayed the completion date for more than 6 months but to be honest I am more interested in knowing whether the 40% we paid has not been lost.

I have just emailed the agent i used with ref to completion,mortgages and rental,
the reply was positive in that she has not heard that there are any problems with construction and expects to complete late 09 early 10.
She is expecting to hear about rental options soon and expects Legalex to be in contact about Moroccon mortgages which are avialable,
hope this helps

Hi Paul,
Did you get the email from PL informing JDLF owners of their financial situation and their forecast for completions? Was only sent out a few weeks ago. I think Popcorn uploaded the email onto one of the blog sites - cannot remember which one. Give me your email address and I will forward it to you.

Not inspiring news I am afraid. This was the first article dated 1/4/09 and see 26/5/09 below.
Wednesday 01 April 2009
The international hotel chain Golden Tulip, which was formed in the Netherlands in 1962, has applied for court protection from creditors.
The group, which has 780 locations worldwide, has been hit by falling occupancy rates because of the recession.
The company is in talks with possible investors on a restart, CEO Hans Kennedie told the Telegraaf.
Golden Tulip, which has gone through a number of ownership changes, was part of the Spanish hotel group NH Hoteles and was the subject of a management buyout in 2002.
AMSTERDAM, May 26 (Reuters) - Loss-making Dutch hotel operator Golden Tulip will file for bankruptcy for 13 hotels in the Netherlands that it directly owns and operates, it said on Tuesday.
The decision will not affect franchised or affiliated hotels, of which there are 720 in more than 50 countries, and the affected hotels will continue to operate during the proceedings, the company said. The group owns 60 hotels directly.
The unlisted hotel chain had warned earlier this year that declining occupancy rates and the cost of investing in new hotels had led to losses.
In March, it said it was going into voluntary receivership and discussing a possible merger with Apollo Hotels & Resorts.[ID:nLV653049]
Hotels are struggling as recession-hit consumers cut back on trips, while businesses trim travel costs to avoid perceptions of frivolous spending.
Golden Tulip competes with Intercontinental Hotels (IHG.L) and Marriott International (MAR.N),amongst others. (Reporting by Reed Stevenson; Editing by Rupert Winchester)
