Cape Town Welcomes the Exceptional: Radisson Collection Makes its South African Debut

Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town

Radisson Hotel Group is raising the bar for luxury travel in South Africa with the unveiling of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town. The hotel marks the debut of the prestigious Radisson Collection brand in the region, introducing a new standard of sophistication and elegance to one of the world’s most vibrant cities.

Located on the iconic Atlantic coastline, this exquisitely refurbished property offers guests an unforgettable experience, perfectly blending modern luxury with the tranquil energy of its stunning surroundings. The hotel’s design takes inspiration from the natural meeting of land and sea, capturing the essence of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain.

An Immersive Design Inspired by Cape Town's Beauty

The architecture of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town, thoughtfully integrates local heritage with contemporary flair. Natural materials like timber, stone, and brass mirror the raw yet refined beauty of South Africa’s landscapes. The use of oceanic blues, sandy neutrals, and earthy tones throughout the interiors evokes the spirit of the coast, while intricate patterns pay homage to the region’s Kaapse Fynbos, vibrant fauna, and world-renowned Winelands.

A key feature of the hotel is its seamless incorporation of African craftsmanship. Local artisans have worked their magic, filling the property with bespoke art installations and locally sourced materials that tell the story of Cape Town’s rich cultural history. A dedicated art gallery within the hotel showcases the works of local fashion designers and architects, providing a contemporary yet authentic touch to the public spaces.

“We are delighted to introduce the Radisson Collection brand to South Africa with this remarkable property in Cape Town,” said Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer, Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia Pacific at Radisson Hotel Group. “Through an extensive refurbishment of the beloved Radisson Blu Hotel, we’ve transformed this landmark property into a destination that perfectly captures the essence of Cape Town. Our guests will now experience the city’s charm from the best vantage point, with the utmost luxury and comfort.”
