These are the Radisson Blu Hotel, Radisson Hotel
Antananarivo Waterfront and Radisson Serviced Apartments Antananarivo City
Centre.
Antananarivo is the capital city, also known as
"Analamanga" or the "City of Thousand".
This is in reference to the thousand soldiers appointed in
the 17th century by the King, to protect the palace locally known as
"Rova", on the highest hill of the city.
"We are thrilled to be opening our first three hotels
in Madagascar, showcasing two of our fastest growing brands and a varied
offering from hotel to serviced apartments," said Tim Cordon, Senior Area
Vice President, Middle East & Africa at Radisson Hotel Group.
"We are proud to be expanding our presence across the
Indian Ocean with a collection of hotels we truly believe will have a positive
impact on the Madagascan economy and together with the wonderful team at
Madagascar's tourism board, we expect to attract more travelers to this beloved
island."
Radisson Blu Hotel has 168 rooms.
Radisson Hotel Antananarivo Waterfront is 30-room boutique
hotel.
The Radisson Serviced Apartments Antananarivo City Centre
has 56 studios and apartments.
"We have no doubt, that our hotels will be top of mind
for memorable stays, dining experiences as well as meetings and events of all
kinds," said François van Rens, Cluster General Manager of the three
hotels.
Attractions in the area include the Parc de Tsarasaotra and
the Lemur's Park.
They boast remarkable fauna and flora, including
Madagascar's most beloved animal, the lemur.
There is also the Haute-Ville, a hilltop village famous for
the architecture of its two-storey brick homes, dating back to the 19th
century.
The Rova of Antananarivo and Andafiavaratra Palace are also
in the city, as well as the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga, Madagascar's only
cultural United Nations site.
Radisson Hotel meanwhile sent well wishes and condolences to
all those impacted by Cyclones Batsirai and Ana in the country.
