Introducing the Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence Cape Town

The latest addition to the Radisson Blu South Africa portfolio, Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence Cape Town officially celebrated its opening with A-List media, influencers, valued partners and the lucky winners of a social media contest and black box secret prize giveaway on the night.

During the launch, guests were encouraged to experience and familiarise themselves with the seven elegant and stylish spaces within the modern meeting and conference rooms that composed the function’s venue.

“It was such an honour showcasing our iconic hotel to Cape Town’s elite. We have been so greatly received since opening our doors a few months ago, and this was the ideal opportunity to introduce even more guests to our gem,” says Desmond O’Connor, general manager of Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence. “We created a unique programme for guests to be able to experience what this hotel is made of - from the iconic building, unique décor and the state-of-the-art facilities to the soul of this hotel, that is the gracious distinctiveness you only fully understand when you are here. Guests were able to experience this and more through the sensorial montage and the rest of the evening’s surprises and excitement.”

Officially opening its doors on 1 April 2017, Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence is a testament to the hotel brand being driven by innovation and design with every inch beautifully crafted and the building’s award winning architecture. As the city is known for its iconic deep blue ocean views and mountainous landscapes, the interior design and décor pay a special homage towards these natural elements as well as the Art Deco design language.
