The 250-room Chedi Milan is to be rebranded in Q1 2010 as the Radisson Blu Hotel, Milan in Italy.

The UK’s Daily Telegraph called it a “super-chic urban retreat” and Vogue UK proclaimed it as “the place to stay if you want to mix with the high fashion crowd in the Italian capital of style”.

“Milan is a key market for us. The city is one of the world’s fashion capitals, and we are delighted to be present in town with our chic, contemporary and design orientated core brand Radisson Blu,”, said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor.
