Regent International Hotels is planning to open four new hotels by the end of the year.
The continuing expansion follows the acquisition of the 10-strong luxury brand by Carlson Hospitality Worldwide in November 1997. North America and Europe are the key targets for growth for Regent, which already has properties in Asia and the Pacific Rim. New properties will open at The Regent Wall Street in New York, The Regent Grand Palms and The Regent Grand Spa in northwest Las Vegas. The Regent Mumbai is scheduled for completion by the autumn.
