The hotel is on the site of a previous hotel – the 42-roomed Destiny Hotel – which has been incorporated into it, as have all the Destiny staff.
The hotel is the twelfth Radisson property to open in South Africa since the brand first launched here in 2000. It’s also the first under the Radisson brand – the others being either Park Inn by Radisson, Radisson Blue or Radisson RED.
