New Radisson Blu in Nigeria

According to breakingnewstravel, the Rezidor Hotel Group has announced the construction of the Radisson Blu Hotel Port Harcourt Olympia in Nigeria.
The property is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2016. This would bring Rezidor’s Nigerian portfolio to 1,100 rooms in operation and under development.
Rezidor already has the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, Lagos VI; the up and coming Radisson Blu Hotel Abuja and the Park Inn by Radissons in Lagos (Apapa), Ikeja (Abeoukuta) and Abuja. Nigeria is a key development market for Rezidor – the group is the first international operator to apply its international standards to the three major financial hubs of Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
 The hotel site is located in the southern part of the city in the less congested old Government Reserve Area directly opposite the Port Harcourt Club 1928 Golf course, with spectacular views over the course. Besides 206 rooms, with Radisson Blu signature services such as free high-speed Internet, the hotel will offer an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant and bar, and the largest conference facilities in the Niger Delta, with 2,100 square metres of conference and meeting space. Additionally, there will be a gym, spa, outdoor swimming pool, business centre and rooftop bar and terrace.
