Up to 200 seekers of hospitality jobs could find employment at a new four-star Radisson SAS hotel in the Riverside North West area of Durham, according to the Journal.

"The people of north-east England have a deserved reputation for being friendly and hospitable so I'm confident that we will find many of our staff here in the region," said general hotel manager Deborah Haines.

Ms Haines also described how the new hotel jobs would be "genuine career opportunities".

The Radisson SAS is due to open its doors on November 1st 2008.

Largely orientated around the business industry, the luxury hotel's features include 209 guest rooms, a banqueting suite, ten meeting rooms and a catering capacity for around 600 delegates.

Financial difficulties due to rising labour and steel costs caused delays in the initial construction schedule, so this news comes three years after the initially planned launch date.

As part of a global hotel organisation which claims to be one of the fastest growing in the world, Radisson SAS currently has 21 hotels across the UK and Ireland and operates a total of 158 across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
