Speaking on behalf of the brand, Tim Cordon, Senior Area Vice President, Middle East & Africa, explained just how proud they are to expand their footprint across the Indian Ocean.
“We believe our efforts will have a positive impact on the Madagascan economy,” he says. “Together with the wonderful team at Madagascar’s tourism board, we expect to attract more travellers to this beloved island.”
Their three newly-developed properties, all within the historical city of Antananarivo, include the Radisson Blu Hotel, Radisson Hotel Antananarivo Waterfront and Radisson Serviced Apartments.
Radisson Blu Hotel, Antananarivo Waterfront
Centrally located in a private area within the Antananarivo waterfront, this hotel features 168 modern rooms and suites with waterfront views. Here, guests can embark on a culinary journey, with international dishes served at the on-site Larder restaurant or the Fire Lake Restaurant & Bar situated on the rooftop.
Catering for meetings and events of all sizes, the hotel offers three spacious meeting rooms, a boardroom as well as a ballroom spanning over 260 square metres, accommodating up to 250 guests. Each of these five venues offers state-of-the-art technology to ensure successful corporate events for teams in 2022.

Aside from those picturesque lake and garden views, guests can wind down in the most exquisite suites striking just the balance between the Radisson brand’s signature Scandinavian aesthetic and Madagascan architecture. The Tamboho Restaurant presents a varied menu of local and international dishes, and guests can also enjoy weekly live jazz performances at the indoor dining area. The outdoor garden lounge is also available for private meetings or social events, such as intimate weddings.
