Radisson Hospitality AB, part of Radisson Hotel Group, is adding a new territory to its portfolio with the signing of Park Inn by Radisson Lusaka Longacres in Zambia.

Located in the Longacres suburb of Lusaka, the hotel will be situated in a prime location within the city’s concentration of embassies, diplomatic missions and United Nations (UN) offices.

Radisson Lusaka will form part of a mixed-use development, including a 9000m2 shopping mall, which will support the hotel in establishing itself as a destination in Lusaka.

The 136-room Park Inn by Radisson Lusaka Longacres will open in 2020 and will offer a mixture of standard rooms and suites, along with an all-day dining restaurant and bar.

The Meetings & Events area will include one ballroom, three meeting rooms and a boardroom. The hotel will also house a well-equipped gym.

Radisson Hotel Group’s Africa portfolio consists of 83 hotels and more than 17,500 rooms in operation and under development.
