		Radisson Blu – 100% guest satisfaction guaranteed!
	– Destination Innovation

Following a name change in February 2009, the Radisson Blu chain is becoming one of the most innovative, contemporary and fast-growing hotel brands in the world. Owned by the prestigious Rezidor hotel group, the three South African hotels in the Radisson Blu fold are setting new service standards in the local hospitality industry. Establishments such as these, which offer top quality experiences for their guests, top our list when it comes to recommending suitable venues to meet our clients’ needs.

The recently re-opened Sandton and Cape Town hotels are soon to be joined by the Radisson Blu Port Elizabeth, due to open at the end of May 2009. Situated in upcoming Fifa 2010 World Cup host cities, all three hotels are centrally located for business and leisure activities and within easy reach of an airport.

Radisson Blu Sandton is situated in the upmarket business and shopping hub of Johannesburg. The 290 rooms have all the mod cons expected by a first class world-traveller and Vivace, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, was recently awarded the “Best Restaurant” title at HOSTEX (South Africa’s longest running international hospitality and catering exhibition). The hotel also offers eight flexible meeting rooms for conferencing and events, a gym and spa, rooftop swimming pool and fabulous indoor/outdoor jogging circuit that snakes through the hotel’s public areas.

In Cape Town, the Radisson Blu overlooks Granger Bay on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and is within walking distance of the shops and amenities of the V&A Waterfront as well as the nearly completed 2010 stadium. All 177 rooms and suites are equipped with high-end amenities. The award winning fare of Tobago’s Restaurant is only surpassed by the fantastic sundowner views from its bar and terrace. A wellness, spa and fitness centre, two modular meeting rooms and the Harbour View functions room round off the complement of facilities available.

Located in the city that is the gateway to the Garden Route, the Radisson Blu Port Elizabeth will be the newest star to open its doors. Just 300m from the beach, it has panoramic views of Algoa Bay. The city centre and its cultural activities are within walking distance and the world renowned Shamwari Game Reserve and Addo Elephant Park are but a short drive away. With 173 beautifully appointed rooms, eight multi-functional conference/banqueting rooms, an Irish pub, Italian restaurant, a wellness/fitness centre and large outdoor swimming pool, every guest’s expectation and desire can be met.

Radisson Blu staff members are always prepared to go that extra mile as part of the group’s “Yes I Can” personal service philosophy. All Radisson Blu hotels also ascribe to Responsible Business initiatives and encourage guests to be as environmentally conscious as they are. For example, their “gold points plus” programme enables travellers to offset their carbon emissions. The upcoming Radisson Blu Port Elizabeth is one of the first hotels in Africa to apply for its international Green Star Rating.

With such a complement of fantastic facilities in great locations operated on sustainable principles with first class service delivery, it is no wonder that Radisson Blu offers their guests a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
