Carlson Rezidor to Re-Design Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Sydney

Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group has unveiled plans to increase its commitment to Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands).

Kicking off its growth plans in Australia is the re-design of the flagship five-star Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Sydney. The first phase of this initiative will begin with the meeting and conference rooms due to be unveiled in late August. This will be followed by the re-design of all 364 rooms.

“Our expansion plans for Australasia are backed by 17 years of experience in the region,” said Thorsten Kirschke, president, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Asia Pacific. “The tourism outlook is positive, especially in Australia where the forecast is for continued growth and where demand for rooms is projected to outstrip supply over the next three years. To better position ourselves to seize the opportunities, we are growing our team to include a dedicated Australasia hotel development function based in Sydney and also introducing our full portfolio of brands including Radisson Red, Park Inn by Radisson and Country Inns & Suites by Carlson brands to the region.”

Carlson Rezidor is gearing up to roll out its Country Inns & Suites By Carlson brand with a focus on the regional centres of Australia and New Zealand, where this upper midscale hotel brand, which offers a comfortable hospitality experience delivered with a touch of home, will have great resonance with both international tourists and domestic holidaymakers.

Carlson Rezidor currently operates Radisson Blu Hotel Sydney and Radisson Suites Sydney, Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne and Radisson Blu Fiji Denarau Island in Australasia.
