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.

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.
