THE Radisson Hotel Group
has broken ground on the
first Radisson RED hotel
in Johannesburg, the Radisson
RED Hotel Johannesburg
Rosebank.
The hotel is set to open
on February 1, 2021 in the
centre of the shopping district
of Rosebank and walking
distance from the Rosebank
Gautrain Station.
It is the second RED hotel
to open in South African, after
Radisson RED V&A Waterfront
in Cape Town, which opened
on September 6.
The next Radisson RED will
open in Durban, with plans
to take the brand into Africa,
namely Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania; Nairobi, Kenya;
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Lagos,
Nigeria; Accra, Ghana; Abidjan
Côte d'Ivoire; and Dakar,
Senegal.
The hotel in Rosebank will
feature 222 rooms, an ‘all day
dining’ Oui Bar & Ktchn and
rooftop bar. It will also feature
pet-friendly facilities.
“The hotel is perfect for
tech-savvy guests with
a ‘millennial mindset’,”
says Andrew McLachlan,
Radisson Hotel Group senior
vp of development for SubSaharan Africa. “The brand is
appealing to guests who are
young at heart. It’s a brand
with an ‘on-the-move’ feel
that targets busy customers
who want flexible services,
24-hour facilities and easy,
in-house access to fresh local
entertainment,” he says.
