REZIDOR ANNOUNCES THE RADISSON BLU HOTEL CONAKRY, GUINEA
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brussels, 24 February 2012 // The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest
growing hotel companies worldwide, announces the Radisson Blu Hotel Conakry in
Guinea. The property featuring 249 rooms is scheduled to open in 2014.
"We are proud to arrive in the Republic of Guinea, the 68(th) country where
Rezidor is present", said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. Guinea is
rich in minerals and other natural resources. Its mining sector and refinery
industry are the driving forces behind the economic growth of this Western
African country. The port and capital city of Conakry is the country's trade hub
and first stop for most international tourists visiting the country.
"Growth in the emerging markets of Africa has been a major focus for Rezidor in
recent years. The signing of this property is in line with our asset smart
strategy to develop Radisson Blu hotels in leading African capital cities. We
now have 43 hotels and over 10,000 rooms in operation or under development
across 17 countries in Africa", continued Ritter.
Eissame Halabi-Ahma of Guinenne de Gestion Immobilière & Hotelière SA, owner of
the mixed use development which includes the hotel, added: "We are very excited
about joining forces with Rezidor. Unique projects like this one require a
strong brand and an experienced and committed hotel operator. We are glad that
we found both with Radisson Blu and Rezidor."
The Radisson Blu Hotel, Conakry is situated next to the US embassy in an up-
market business and residential precinct of Conakry that attracts many
international companies and government administration offices. The new football
stadium which will host the African Cup of Nations in 2014 will be located 2
kilometres from the site. Part of a mixed use development, the property sits on
a cliff with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Besides 249 rooms with signature
services such as free high speed internet access, the Radisson Blu Hotel,
Conakry will feature several restaurants and bars, including an outdoor terrace
and rooftop F&B outlet. The hotel will also offer about 1,580m(2) of conference
and meeting facilities, an outdoor swimming pool and spa. Serviced apartments
are planned in the future on the site which the hotel will operate along with a
casino which will be operated by a third party.
