Rezidor has added a new country - the 62nd - to
its global portfolio with the signing of the Radisson Blu Hotel &
Convention Centre, Kigali in Rwanda. The property featuring 292
rooms is scheduled to open in 2012.
The new Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre,
Kigali, Rwanda is a future landmark and part of a massive,
mixed-use development in the Rwandan capital. Rezidor will oversee
the hotel and convention centre. Besides 292 guest rooms, services
will comprise 6 food and beverage outlets, a spa and fitness
centre, an outdoor swimming pool, and boutique retail shops. The
adjacent convention centre will have a net floor area of 32,000
square metres, which includes a multipurpose arena with a capacity
of up to 2,600 delegates, 7 sub-divisible conference rooms and 10
smaller meeting rooms.
The project is located between the city
centre and Kigali International Airport. The surrounding area is
one of the most popular areas of the capital and in proximity to
key government offices including the Ministry of Justice, the
Supreme Court and Parliament.
“This signing symbolizes the new optimism
investors have in Rwanda, and further underlines our strong
commitment to Africa – this emerging and promising continent is
one of our key areas for future business development,” said
Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
Rezidor has numerous hotels under development in
African capital and major cities. In 2010 alone, the group plans
the openings of Radisson Blu hotels in Johannesburg and Cape Town
(South Africa), Lagos (Nigeria), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Maputo
(Mozambique) and Lusaka (Zambia).
