Radisson Blu Shows Growth in Latin America with a Second Hotel Opening in Chile

Radisson Blu®, one of the world's leading brands driven by innovation and design, today announced the opening of Radisson Blu Acqua Hotel & Spa Concon. Formerly Radisson Acqua Hotel & Spa Concon, the hotel recently completed a $2.5 million renovation giving a new and refreshed look to the guest rooms, terrace, restaurant and spa.

"We are very proud of the continued expansion of Radisson Blu in key destinations across Latin America," said Frances Gonzalez, vice president of Operations for Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group in Latin America. "Our momentum in Chile shows our commitment to increasing our brand's footprint and this is an exciting addition to our international portfolio of upper-upscale hotels."

The hotel features 66 guest rooms and suites with stunning ocean views and an array of upscale amenities. Guests can enjoy a swim in the outdoor pool or access the beach right outside the hotel's doors. Free Wi-Fi, along with an onsite fitness center and business center are also available. Find ultimate relaxation at Acqua Spa, which offers massages, face and body treatments and thalassotherapy. Alternative therapies including reiki and stone massages are offered, along with an indoor seawater pool.

The hotel's dining option, Acqua Restaurant, features a menu with fresh, local seafood. Guests can sip on handcrafted cocktails at the recently updated terrace bar, which has a chic design overlooking the South Pacific Ocean. Room service is also available for guests who want to savor their meal in the comfort of their own room.

The hotel serves as an excellent location to host meetings and events. Three meeting rooms are available that can accommodate up to 80 people. The hotel offers planning assistance, onsite catering and audiovisual equipment to ensure each event is a success. The rooftop terrace can also provide the perfect backdrop to capture a photo of a special event with its panoramic view of Concón.

"We are thrilled to open our doors as a Radisson Blu," said Christian Bernales, the hotel's general manager. "Our hotel's beautiful renovation features the brand's iconic and sophisticated style, along with its enhanced service culture as our staff of hospitality professionals have undergone extensive training in the Yes I Can! service philosophy."

This hotel opening shows growth in Chile as Radisson Blu Santiago La Dehesa began welcoming guests just last year. There are also two Radisson Blu hotels in Brazil, which include Radisson Blu São Paulo and Radisson Blu Belo Horizonte Savassi.
