Evoking a classic, old-world feel with chic, ultra modern touches, the Radisson Blu Le Vendome is the newest boutique-style gem in Cape Town's fast-growing hospitality sector, with luxurious upgrades designed to enrich every guest's experience.
Along with 143 luxury rooms and suites, the hotel presents a pool area, meeting rooms and an exclusive shopping boutique.
Phase two of the ambitious refurbishment will see the addition of a spa and gym to the hotel's assets, while phase three will revitalize the rooms with inspired, stylish touches.
"It's a privilege to be handed the reins of such an exciting project. I am honoured to oversee the next phase in the life of this landmark hotel or 'the Grande Dame' as I like to call her. Radisson Blu Le Vendome brings classical charm to an innovative, first-class hotel," says general manager Clinton Thom.
Thom is also the general manager of sister hotel Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands, which won the international Guardians of Sustainability Award for diversity and inclusion. Following the example set by that project, the Radisson Blu Le Vendome similarly embraces diversity and caring for local communities by employing eight deaf team members, who are involved in all aspects of operating the hotel.
A tradition of fine cuisine has been maintained at the Radisson Blu Le Vendome with La Mer Restaurant and Grill's menu having been crafted by executive chef Craig Carmichael to deliver authentic South African flavours with international influences.
The Radisson Blu Le Vendome occupies a prominent place on the cosmopolitan Atlantic Seaboard, with captivating views of the city's celebrated natural landmarks, such as Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The Sea Point Promenade is but a few steps away, while a world of shopping and entertainment waits in the nearby City Centre and Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
