Bloubergstrand in Cape Town will see the arrival of a new hotel with the original name of the area: Blaauwberg (“Blue mountain”).

The Radisson Hotel Blaauwberg will have 144 rooms and open in the fourth quarter of 2010. It is the third Rezidor hotel in Cape Town in addition to the Radisson SAS Waterfront Hotel and the Park Inn Greenmarket Square.

The Radisson Hotel Blaauwberg is being built on a landmark site on Beach Road, Blaauwberg across the road from the beach, so if you are looking for a hotel in Cape Town with good sea views, this new hotel will certainly qualify.

Guests at this new beachfront hotel in Bloubergstrand, only 15 minutes to the north of Cape Town central, will enjoy a picture-perfect view of Africa's most beautiful city with the world famous Table Mountain presiding over it.

The Blouberg area is renowned for the postcard images of Cape Town’s Table Mountain, as well as being one of the best wind surfing & kite surfing places in the world.

The World Heritage Site of Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was once held, lies against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets that can be viewed from the new hotel.

Besides 144 themed first class rooms, the Radisson Hotel Blaauwberg will offer six state-of-the-art conference and meeting facilities, an award winning contemporary bar and restaurant concept, a destination cocktail bar, an outdoor swimming pool, and a fitness area and sundeck.

The Radisson Hotel Blaauwberg is just one of many new hotels in Cape Town that are set to open their doors in the coming months and years.
