Rezidor announces two new South African hotels: the Radisson Blu Safari Resort Kruger Park and the Park Inn Cape Town Foreshore.
The Radisson Blu Safari Resort Kruger Park is scheduled to welcome its first guests in Q2 2013. It will be located within the southern border of the Kruger National Park, along the famous Crocodile River 10 kilometres from the Malelane Gate. Besides 104 rooms and 16 suites with private terraces, the resort will offer an all day dining restaurant, a typical “Boma” (an outdoor dining and entertainment area), a cigar bar, pool bar and terrace. For guests combining business and leisure, the Radisson Blu will have five conference rooms as well as two swimming pools, a spa and wellness centre, a gym, game viewing Crocodile River decks, a kids club and an environmental awareness centre.
Guests of the Radisson Blu Kruger Park Safari Resort will also be able to enjoy game viewing, with Safaris departing daily from the hotel to the main game viewing areas of the park. Kruger covers an area of almost 20,000 square kilometres and includes three different eco-zones (savannah, thornveld and woodland). It has more than 1,900 species of plants and 147 animal species.
“This hotel will be the first internationally branded hotel within Kruger, and will clearly strengthen the Radisson Blu brand in South Africa”, said Rezidor’s President & CEO Kurt Ritter on the occasion of the Hospitality Investment Conference Africa (HICA) in Johannesburg. “At the same time, it adds a new segment to our successful Radisson Blu portfolio: we manage city and business hotels, airport properties, beach and ski resorts, and are delighted to now announce our very first safari resort.”
