Carlson Rezidor plans balneotherapy spa hotel in Bordeaux
Carlson Rezidor plans to open a new Radisson Blu branded hotel, complete with a balneotherapy-centric spa, in the French city of Bordeaux – the wine capital city of the world.
The 125-bedroom Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Bordeaux will be built north of the city’s UNESCO-protected centre as part of ‘Les Bassins à Flots’ – a mixed-use complex that is currently the largest real estate development in France: facilitated by four governmental organisations. It is expected to open in Q2 of 2017.
The mixed-use complex will comprise 4,000 residences and 250,000sq m of commercial space – including the ‘Cité des civilisations du vin’, a wine-focused attraction that is set to debut in 2016 with projected annual visitors of 450,000. Fittingly, Bordeaux is also host to the international wine fair ‘Vinexpo’.
According to a statement by Carlson Rezidor, the 1,500sq m (16,146sq ft) spa and balneotherapy area is set to include an ice tunnel, hammam and sauna.
“Bordeaux is an increasingly important leisure and business destination in the south west of France,” said Wolfgang M. Neumann, president and CEO of Rezidor. “We look forward to being part of the dynamic development of the city.”
The hotel is being designed by Bordeaux-based King Kong Architects. The hotel developer is Redman, a French real estate development company. The project will be led by one of Redman’s subsidiaries.
There will be two restaurants at the Radisson hotel, in addition to two bars – one of which will offer panoramic views over Bordeaux and the river Garonne. Meeting facilities at the property will include five conference rooms and a ballroom.
