Carlson Panorama Signs Radisson Hotel in Medan, Indonesia

Carlson Panorama Hospitality, a joint venture between Carlson Rezidor and the Panorama Group, has signed a management contract for a Radisson hotel in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

As part of the rebranding exercise, the Asean International Medan will be extensively renovated under a US$5 million property improvement plan.

The 219-room hotel will remain open throughout the renovations and will launch as the Radisson Medan in the second half of 2016.

Conference and meetings facilities at Radisson Medan will include meeting rooms and a ballroom. Recreational facilities at the hotel include a swimming pool and a gym, while the F&B options will include an all-day dining restaurant and a lobby bar.

“We are proud to be planting the Radisson flag in Medan. As the economic and commercial hub of northern Indonesia, Medan is an important destination for domestic business travelers,” said Thorsten Kirschke, president, Asia Pacific, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. “Radisson Medan is a great addition to our portfolio in Indonesia where we are continuing to grow with our long-term strategic partner, Panorama Group.”

Radisson Medan is located in the heart of downtown Medan, next to the Medan clock tower, along the major thoroughfare of Jl. H. Adam Malik. The hotel offers convenient access to the airport, which is the second largest in Indonesia and is well connected to key domestic markets, acting as a hub for the main Indonesian carriers.

Radisson Medan is also close to major shopping malls and golf courses, as well as tourist attractions including the Great Mosque, the Sultan’s Palace and historical buildings.

In Asia Pacific, there are currently 13 Radisson hotels in operation and 21 more in the pipeline.
