Rezidor Remains one of the World's Most Ethical Companies

BRUSSELS, April 20, 2011 - The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing and most dynamic
hotel companies worldwide, has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as
one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the second year in a row.

"We are delighted to receive this prestigious award again, and we are
proud that we could maintain our status as one of the World's Most Ethical
Companies," said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. "We defended our
rank by further going the extra mile and by working with upright business
practices which support our own success, bring benefit to the community and
raise the bar for ethical standards within the industry," continued Ritter.

Rezidor's award-winning and group-wide Responsible Business Programme has
roots dating back as far as 1989. Besides the respect for social and ethical
issues within the company the programme also focuses on health and safety for
guests and employees as well as on a reduced negative impact on the
environment. Rezidor's ethical culture and Code of Business Ethics is
introduced to each employee through the Living Responsible Business training
programme. This foundation is expanded and promoted widely within Rezidor
from the STAR supervisor development programme, to internal audit training
and all the way up to the internal General Managers Certification Programme.
It is furthermore reflected in the "Always Care" motto of the group's Safety
and Security programme, TRIC=S, which is internationally recognised as best
practice for corporate security management.

This is the fifth year Ethisphere (a think-tank dedicated to the
creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics,
corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability) has
published the WME rankings and presented 110 companies chosen by a committee
of leading attorneys, professors, government officials and organization
leaders. The methodology for the WME ranking includes seven distinct
categories: Corporate Citizenship and Responsibility; Corporate Governance;
Innovation that Contributes to the Public Well Being; Industry leadership;
Executive Leadership and Tone from the Top; Legal, Regulatory and Reputation
Track Record; and Internal Systems and Ethics/Compliance Program.

A sampling of other 2011 winners includes Adidas, Timberland, Microsoft,
American Express, Starbucks and UPS.
