Radisson to open a resort in Northern France

Radisson Hospitality has announced the signing of the Radisson Resort Sangatte Bleriot-Plage in France. It marks the brand’s debut in the country, where it will become part of a portfolio that boasts 16 hotels and more than 2,800 rooms in operation or under development. Situated on the Opal coast in the Pas-de-Calais area, Sangatte Bleriot-Plage is a small and charming seaside destination that’s increasingly popular with travellers – both for its golden beach facing out onto the Channel and its easy access to the Eurotunnel, linking it to Western Europe’s major capital cities. The entire region enjoys a healthy flow of tourist arrivals, with international visitors making up more than a quarter of those journeying to a destination that’s quickly growing in demand.

 

Due to open in 2021, the new-build hotel will comprise 115 rooms, including six suites. It will also include a restaurant and a bar, featuring a panoramic terrace. Other leisure facilities will include a spa, a fitness centre and an indoor swimming pool, with business travellers catered for by two meeting rooms.

 

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing the first Radisson branded property to France. Calais and the surrounding areas are undergoing a major transformation to attract more tourists (including international visitors), and – with few international operators already in Sangatte – we’re looking to be first movers in what will be a strong growth market.”

 

With its proximity to the Eurotunnel and connections to Eurostar, the Radisson Resort Sangatte Bleriot-Plage will be simple to reach by car, train or ferry. Guests will also enjoy easy access to Calais, Lille and Paris – and can even travel to or from London or Brussels in approximately an hour. 

 

Lionel Vandecasteele, a representative of Twin Promotion, the resort’s owner, said: “It’s a pleasure to continue our longstanding and successful relationship with Radisson Hotel Group and to bring one of its renowned brands to Sangatte Bleriot-Plage in France. The local hotel market has been performing strongly in recent years, and there’s currently a gap for a resort property with access to extensive leisure facilities. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests and providing them with amazing experiences.”
