While we wait for this landmark opening, The Radisson Group has strengthened its position in TunisiaThe Radisson Blu brand has now moved into the heart of the Tunisian capital's largest MICE hotel, with an establishment dedicated primarily to business travellers. Following the opening of the Radisson Tunis City Center last July, the top-of-the-range Radisson Blu brand has moved into the walls of the largest MICE hotel in the Tunisian capital. The Radisson group is following in the footsteps of many celebrities who have visited the Tunisian capital, from Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela to Michael Jackson and Monica Bellucci.
Originally known in the late 60s as the Hôtel des Congrès Tunis, then under the Abou Nawas banner and more recently Laico Hotels, the Hôtel des Congrès Tunis is now one of the world's most prestigious hotels. Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Center is ideally located for business travellers, on Avenue Mohammed V, Tunis, with the Palais des Congrès and the Cité de la Culture next door. But, as its name suggests, the hotel has other arguments to seduce business travellers, with a congress centre integrated within its walls, in addition to 305 rooms with a contemporary decor.
This vast 2,000 m² MICE area can accommodate up to 2,000 participants in its 14 flexible rooms, making it one of the largest meeting capacities in the Tunisian capital. The catering offer is worthy of the venue, with different options ranging from the international cuisine restaurant Al Mayda to a top-of-the-range Tunisian restaurant, Dar Zmen, and another serving Mediterranean cuisine, overlooking the swimming pool. All of this is complemented by a bar in the shade of the palm trees, a shisha bar and a spa for relaxing moments away from business events.
