Radisson Blu opens in Johannesburg
11 May 2009 GMT 15:07 (Johannesburg)
The first of two Radisson hotels to be designed by MKV Design has opened in Johannesburg.
The Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton is a newbuild tower built around a central atrium that soars up all 15 levels of the hotel. One side of the atrium is clad with mirror that curves in incremental steps upwards over the height of the space, with regularly changing beams of coloured light. Spheres suspended from the ceiling appear to float through the upper levels of the space. Below, the main lobby lounge is a large multi-functional space with banquette seating, oversized sofas, and wing-backed chairs.
The 290 guestrooms, including 33 suites, follow two design schemes, one of which is youthful, the other with a quieter décor and more conventional styling.
The Radisson Blu Sandton also features two ballrooms and eight private meeting rooms, as well as a wine display leading to the Vivace Restaurant. Here, the use of fiery colours against a neutral background continues through the upholstery and accessories.
