Radisson Hotels Latin America Signs Three New Hotels In The Region

Two Hotels in Lima, Peru and a third in Panama

Radisson Hotels and Resorts Latin America (RHILA), a master franchisor of Radisson Hotels & Resorts, today announced the addition of three new hotels to the Radisson system. The three hotels include the Radisson Decapolis Hotel Miraflores and Radisson Hotel & Suites San Isidro in Lima, Peru; as well as the Radisson Summit Resort and Spa in Panama.

The 105 room Radisson Decapolis Hotel Miraflores in Lima, Peru is scheduled to open on February 15 under the management of Gerardo Camacho.

Camacho previously served as the General Manager of the Radisson Decapolis Hotel Panama City. The new hotel is located in Miraflores, a highly desirable business and residential district of Lima. Consorcio Hotelera Las Palmeras, S.A., led by Lucio Garcia-Mansilla, acquired the property and gutted the existing building; replacing everything from the plumbing to the wiring to the elevators. Even the concrete floors were re-laid to compliment the masterful revival architecture and design of the property.

Radisson Hotel & Suites San Isidro is also slated to open in Lima in mid- February. Formerly the Hotel Las Palmeras, this 35-suite property will be seeing the addition of a 69- room tower which will also incorporate food, beverage and banquet facilities. On a quiet residential street in San Isidro, the most exclusive area of Lima, the hotel is poised to strongly compete for the upscale corporate market. Renovation and operation of the Radisson Hotel San Isidro is also being overseen by Camacho.

Located near the Miraflores Locks and the Puente Centenario in Panama, the Summit Resort and Spa is expected to open in December 2008. The resort will feature 103 rooms in a newly-built ecologically-friendly tower on the grounds of the existing Summit Golf Club. Ramesh Mirpuri, principal of the owning group, explains that his vision of a newly redesigned 18-hole championship golf course, upscale hotel with first class restaurants and banquet facilities, as well as a top of the line spa, fit perfectly with the anticipated growth that Panama will experience with the commencement of the Panama Canal enlargement project.
