For business travelers and events companies, Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth offers a fully equipped business and events centre, as well as several banqueting and conference facilities.

“The grand opening of the Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth marks a special occasion for the Rezidor Hotel Group. The Eastern Cape province is on a rapid business and economic expansion course, especially through Coega,” commented Mr Kurt Ritter, President and CEO of Rezidor Hotel Group.

“As the gateway to the Garden Route, the water sports capital of Africa and a string of five star malaria-free game viewing reserves now including the “Big Seven”, Port Elizabeth is constantly increasing its popularity amongst international tourists, and thus an important destination to offer world-class and award-wining hospitality,” he says.

Says Ben Nyaumwe, owner of the hotel and CEO of Auspex Property, “Our sales and marketing department is looking forward to offering various leisure and business packages to operators. Port Elizabeth is also fast becoming a regular weekend getaway destination for local/regional leisure travelers, particularly from Gauteng. ”
