Radisson Hotel Group is proud to announce the opening of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town, marking the debut of its luxury lifestyle brand in South Africa. Positioned along Cape Town’s iconic Atlantic coastline, this newly refurbished hotel seamlessly combines modern elegance, rich local heritage, and the serene beauty of its surroundings, offering guests a unique blend of sophistication and tranquillity.

The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the dramatic intersection of land and sea, capturing the powerful essence of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged beauty of Table Mountain. Natural materials such as timber, brass, and stone echo South Africa’s diverse landscapes, while a colour palette of oceanic blues, sandy neutrals, and earthy tones adds depth to the interiors. Intricate patterns throughout the hotel reflect the region’s vibrant Kaapse Fynbos, fauna, and the renowned Winelands, creating a harmonious connection between nature and design.

African Craftsmanship and Curated Art

Locally sourced materials and bespoke art installations are woven throughout the hotel, showcasing Cape Town's rich cultural heritage. A dedicated bespoke art gallery highlights curated works celebrating local fashion and architecture, adding an authentic yet contemporary touch to the hotel’s public spaces.

Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer of Radisson Hotel Group for the Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia Pacific, commented, “We are delighted to introduce the Radisson Collection brand to South Africa with this remarkable property in Cape Town, a city renowned for its natural beauty, history, and cultural vibrancy.
