Carlson Rezidor will open its first Radisson Blu Hotel in Nairobi in late 2015.
It will be Rezidor’s flagship hotel in East Africa, with 271 bedrooms, a health club, spa and over 1400 square metres of conference space.
"Nairobi has one of the fastest growing economies on the continent and is seen by Carlson Rezidor as the gateway to rest of Africa," said the group.
"When entering a new market it’s important to look at the bigger sphere of influence surrounding a hotel. "
Carlson Rezidor opened its first hotel in Africa in 2000, the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Cape Town.
Since then, the group has built up a network of 58 hotels and more than 13,000 rooms in 25 countries in Africa, and has a Regional Office in South Africa.
