Carlson Rezidor, one of the world’s largest hotel groups, has announced plans to open the upscale Radisson Blu Le Vendome Hotel Cape Town in South Africa within the next six months. The property, formerly Hotel Le Vendome, is currently undergoing renovations to reposition it as a leading upper-upscale hotel in Cape Town.
Situated on Sea Point’s popular Platinum Mile, the hotel will offer 143 guestrooms and suites designed to meet the needs of both leisure and business travelers. Facilities will include an outdoor pool, a fitness center, an all-day dining restaurant with a terrace and bar, and dedicated meeting and event space. These amenities aim to enhance the guest experience while catering to the region’s growing demand for sophisticated accommodation.
The addition of Radisson Blu Le Vendome strengthens Carlson Rezidor’s presence in Cape Town, bringing its local portfolio to five hotels either in operation or under development. Wolfgang M. Neumann, president and CEO of Carlson Rezidor, commented that the property will bolster the group’s offering in Cape Town amid rising demand for high-quality business and leisure hotels. He also noted that Carlson Rezidor operates and develops 53 hotels across the African continent and plans continued growth, highlighting Africa as a key emerging market for future development.
This new Radisson Blu property is expected to attract both international visitors and domestic guests seeking modern amenities and a central Sea Point location. The Platinum Mile location provides easy access to Cape Town’s beaches, promenades, and nearby dining and entertainment options, making it an appealing choice for travelers who want a blend of convenience and upscale comfort.
As renovations progress, the hotel’s updated design and facilities will align with the Radisson Blu brand’s standards for contemporary style and service. With thoughtful layout and a range of on-site services, the hotel aims to support conferences, social events and leisure stays, contributing to Cape Town’s hospitality landscape.
Carlson Rezidor’s continued investment in the city reflects confidence in Cape Town’s tourism and business travel markets. The new Radisson Blu Le Vendome adds to the diversity of accommodations available in the area and supports the broader strategy to expand the brand’s footprint across Africa, where opportunities for growth remain strong.
