Radisson Blu has taken over the management of 117 serviced apartments in Torres Rani, adjacent to the 154-room Radisson Blu Maputo on Avenida Marginal.
GM, Niklas Jonsson, says: “We have noted the international trend towards ‘residencing’ that provides five-star luxury along with a certain degree of independence, privacy and security than just a hotel room. The Radisson Blu Residences will provide a fully furnished ‘home away from home’ but with elite standards of 24-hour service.”
The residences include 64 studios and 53 one-bedroom apartments, including a universal access apartment. The first 33 apartments have been completed and the remainder will be operational before the end of the year.
The complex also offers meeting and events facilities, two restaurants, a bar, a poolside bar and a gym. Bookings can be from as short as a week to a year or more.
This increased operation has resulted in a re-branding of the two towers to The Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, increasing Carlson Rezidor’s footprint in Mozambique to 388 beds, including the 117-room Park Inn by Radisson in the northern city of Tete.
Radisson Blu is the only intercontinental global hotel brand currently operating in Mozambique.
