Radisson Blu to debut in Cyprus

Radisson Blu, a unit of the Carlson Rezidor Group, has announced its first hotel in Cyprus, scheduled to open in 2017.

Currently under construction, the Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Larnaca, adds to Rezidor’s growing portfolio, now present in 80 countries across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.

“Our entry into Cyprus provides an excellent opportunity for us, and Larnaca is a major city which fits well with our Radisson Blu strategy. We believe that this signing will mark a significant step in the island’s recovery and will pave the way for further local and international hotel interest,” said Wolfgang M Neumann, president and CEO of Rezidor.

“We are delighted to be working with Quality Group who are an established developer in Cyprus, and SunnySeeker Hotels as the renowned third-party hotel management company, and we thank them for this opportunity to introduce the only branded hotel to the city,” he said.

Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Larnaca is situated close to the beach, next to the city centre and just across from the city’s expanding seaport. It boasts a strategic location across from the main sea port and the Larnaca waterfront, and is just 7 km away from the Larnaca International Airport.

This upper-upscale hotel will offer 105 guestrooms and serviced apartments, a restaurant and bar, club lounge, a pool bar at the fifth floor with magnificent views, a spa and health club, a conference room as well as themed restaurants and cafés, and exclusive shops on the ground floor. Its excellent location benefits from the sea port, off-shore oil drilling and the current development of the city.

The Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence, Larnaca will be operated by The Rezidor Hotel Group and SunnySeeker Hotels under a franchise agreement. – TradeArabia News Service
