The Rezidor Hotel Group will open a 155 room Radisson Resort & Spa in Tangier in Morocco in the last quarter 2010. This is the second property for the Brussels based company in the north African country.
Earlier this year the company signed an agreement to open the Radisson Resort & Spa, Saïdia, which will offer 384 rooms and 97 villas when it opens in the third quarter 2010.
“Our pipeline in Africa now comprises more than 20 hotels with almost 5,400 rooms in operation and under development,” said Kurt Ritter, president and CEO of Rezidor. “This emerging region offers a huge potential and remains in our focus.”
The Radisson Resort & Spa, Tangier will be spread out over 2.7 hectares on the east end of the Bay of Tangier in the Ghandouri area. Its development is part of “Plan Mada’in”; initiated by the king of Morocco in a bid to reposition and to extend eight existing tourist destinations in the country.
It will have 155 rooms featuring 17 suites and 41 villas, plus a 1,000 sq m Thalasso centre operated by the French spa Thalgo, two restaurants, two bars, a swimming pool, conference areas and a business centre.
