“South Africa is an important cluster for our young and dynamic Park Inn by Radisson
brand, and we are delighted to further strengthen our presence in the key market Cape
Town,” said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. The project will also confirm Rezidor
as the largest international hotel operator in South Africa with 10 hotels and more than
1,800 rooms open or under development.
The newly built Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands will be the first
internationally branded hotel in Claremont / Newlands, a key upmarket business and
residential node, in the affluent Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. Besides 122 comfortable
guest rooms, it will comprise a club lounge, business lounge, the RBG Restaurant & Bar, a
breakfast restaurant, a kiosk and help desk, a gym, multipurpose meeting and function
facilities, an outdoor terrace with sculpture garden, and an outdoor swimming pool.
The hotel will be close to several legendary sport stadiums and institutions, such as
the Newlands Cricket Ground, Newlands Rugby Stadium, South African Rugby Head Quarters and
the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, Africa’s leading sports medicine,
rehabilitation and high performance centre. The prestigious University of Cape Town (the
highest ranked university in Africa) is only a short distance away, as are many office
parks and company headquarters.
