The Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi gets set for 2015 opening
All India, 25th September 2015: Carlson Rezidor is anticipated to open its first Radisson Blu Hotel in Nairobi in 2015. The hotel will have 271 bedrooms and feature a health club, spa and over 1400 square metres of conference space. All conference rooms will have natural daylight and all meeting delegates can enjoy Radisson Blus exclusive meetings concept Experience Meetings. This new concept for meetings and events in Kenya harmonizes the meeting essentials: breakout rooms, food and connectivity with the intangibles: service, satisfaction and sustainability. Experience Meetings will be the newest attractive offering of Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi. The meeting segment is key business for the hotel. Experience Meetings provides guests with a consistent high standard of products and services from the first to the last phase of their booking. Three elements mark Experience Meetings: The first is Brain Food; an innovative and responsible food & beverage solution developed by skilled chefs and nutritionists. Brain Food serves fresh, well-balanced and primarily locally sourced low-fat & low-sugar items: lots of fish, whole grain products, fruits and vegetables that keep the guests blood sugar level constant and help them to stay concentrated and to lower their stress level. The second is the Brain Box: a breakout room for participating hotels designed to elevate efficiency and to stimulate creativity. The Brain Box is equipped with a flexible furniture layout like movable lounge chairs and cushions, with adjustable light systems, and special tools like plexi-glass walls to write on. The third element is to enable connectivity: All Radisson Blu properties offer free and fast WiFi for all meeting delegates.
Intangible components ideally complement the new meeting concept: All Radisson Blu hotels follow the service philosophy Yes I Can! with a positive and pro-active service approach, and give a 100% guest satisfaction guarantee. Guests can also participate in engaging Responsible Business activities and make their meeting paperless. Members of Radisson Blus loyalty programme Club Carlson for Planners (exclusively offered to meetings, conventions and special event planners) will benefit from an automatic offset of the carbon dioxide emissions from any meeting that a member has booked. The hotel will boast an all-day-dining restaurant, a terrace restaurant and bar, a cigar lounge and an authentic specialty restaurant serving different kinds of meat dishes which will embrace locality in the international space.
Nairobi has one of the fastest growing economies on the continent and is also seen as the gateway to rest of Africa due to its location on the map, the Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi will be Rezidor’s flagship hotel in East Africa. When entering a new market it’s important to look at the bigger sphere of influence surrounding a hotel.
