YES I CAN!

This addition brings the Group’s portfolio in South
Africa—a key market for Radisson—to thirteen
operational properties. This strategic growth
reinforces the Group’s ambition to have 150 hotels
in operation across Africa within the next five years.
Located on the stunning eastern coast of Durban,
in the lively and upmarket Umhlanga area, Radisson
