I don't understand why it would not be renamed Radisson Blu Sandton Central as it is essentially an hotel without the offices and that is what it is called on the Rezidor website. You might want to rename it as Radisson Blu Sandton Eye and rename the first Radisson hotel in Sandton as Radisson Blu Sandton Isle.

They will more than likely not open the Rezidor hotel as a Radisson but a second Park Inn which would make better sense in these times as there are too many five-star hotels in Joburg like in CT and the WC 2010 is unlikely to address what will be a oversupply crisis of hotel rooms for the next 5-10 years.

It is still a Radisson Blu, and actually Jozi has an undersupply of 5star hotels - you can speak to any operator. And they are already building a Park Inn down the road. So it seems the two RAdisson Blus are staying at least.

if this is true why not increase the key count on this property and reduce the office component?

me I would have converted to half of offices into serviced appartments (by raddison but sold as sectional title units) and freehold appartments

Having shortage in hotel rooms for WC, they could have built all 30 floors. And have Rezidor let hotel rooms in the future Office floors, even if these had to be 2-3 stars hotel rooms. And if they are really thinking increasing the floors when the economical situation is better, I wouldn't like to be staying in that hotel when this occures, with all the noise and dust...

Just wish that it could be higher...

joburg · September 16th, 2009, 03:16 PM

Yah at least it's on a hill so if you're approaching it from Katherine Drive it looks rather tall

Inertia · September 16th, 2009, 11:55 PM

let's just hope those little stubs of columns on the top floor get a new lease on life sometime in the near future

Pule · November 16th, 2009, 10:52 AM

Durbsboi · November 17th, 2009, 09:21 AM

this one doesnt look all bad in the flesh but ya the extra floors would have been nice.

Jakes1 · February 19th, 2010, 01:48 PM

The Sandton Steristump is Topped out. Yawn. They have to change the name. And oh, to "top" things off, they actually built a little kazebo on top, to make it look ever so posh.

Yes, this facade makes sense. Not.
