The Radisson RED group has opened its doors in Rosebank, just outside of Johannesburg’s vibrant city centre. The lush suburb is the perfect setting for a hotel that prides itself on artistic integrity and modern trends – but what is more, we’ve got one of the best rooftop pools in the country now ready to welcome visitors.
Radisson RED: Where is Johannesburg’s new rooftop pool?
Situated just minutes away from the Gautrain stop and Rosebank Mall, you couldn’t have placed the Radisson RED anywhere better. Its sleek, fashionable design enforces the hotel’s identity as a pioneering, 21st-century destination.
All the rooms are spacious and cosmopolitan, with some now on sale for less than R1 850 per night. The venue is completely COVID-compliant, and all health protocols are being followed rigorously. The Radisson RED also has an award-winning hotel in Cape Town – and yes, that also has a stunning rooftop pool.
“Following in the footsteps of its sister hotel in Cape Town, which was voted best rooftop bar in the city, Radisson RED Johannesburg Rosebank also boasts a trendy rooftop terrace – where guests can take a dip in the swimming pool and enjoy exclusive DJ sets, cocktails, and delicious food – all with an unmatched, panoramic view of the city.”
What stands out with the Radisson RED?
- In total, the Johannesburg Radisson RED will be home to 222 standard rooms and suites.
- Custom African-print wallpaper is present on each floor, and street art displays will rotate every six months.
- High-tech additions, like an interactive digi-wall and Chromecast televisions, feature in each room.
- Guests can also indulge in the hotel’s vibrant culinary offerings – such as the all-day dining OUI Bar + KTCHN.
- The hotel boasts six meeting studios, ranging from 20 to 120 in capacity and ‘flooded with natural light’.
- On the go? There is also as a reading room workspace for remote workers.
- The hotel’s cultural programming includes musical showcases and exhibitions by local performers and artists.
Rooftop pool, views for days, and a love for the local…
Tim Cordon is the Area Senior Vice President for Radisson RED. He has explained what drew the group towards Johannesburg, and revealed that the thriving cultural scene had a huge influence on their final decision. Not only will this new venture create more jobs, but it will help showcase some of the most talented young creators in the city:
“We’re delighted to debut Radisson RED in Johannesburg, a city that perfectly suits every aspect of this brand as they both have a distinctly infectious energy and honor the city’s locals by celebrating unique art, fashion and music. It is an honor to introduce our second hotel addition in the country and boost job creation – especially during this current time.”
