NAIROBI – RADISSON Hotel Group is accelerating its expansion across Africa and strengthening its footprint in Zimbabwe, with strategic investments in Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North, and the capital city Harare that signal growing confidence in the country\u2019s tourism and business travel sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This momentum comes as the Group continues broad development across the continent, building on its milestone of more than 100 hotels in Africa in operation and under development.<\/p>\n

In Harare, Radisson has made its mark with a flagship luxury project in the capital’s prestigious Millennium Heights estate.<\/p>\n

The Radisson Serviced Apartments \u2013 Harare represents a landmark hospitality investment as the country\u2019s first internationally branded serviced apartment hotel, combining upscale amenities with hotel\u2011style services in one of the city\u2019s most sought\u2011after mixed\u2011use destinations.<\/p>\n

The Harare development reflects broader opportunities in Zimbabwe\u2019s hospitality landscape, underscored by partnerships with local developers such as WestProp (WestProperties) that align global hotel expertise with local market insight.<\/p>\n

Observers say initiatives like these are seen as \u201cproof of Zimbabwe as an investment destination,\u201d helping drive employment, enhance infrastructure, and expand the nation\u2019s appeal to international and regional travelers.<\/p>\n

Beyond Victoria Falls, Radisson\u2019s gaze is firmly set on Matabeleland North and Harare, two of Zimbabwe\u2019s most iconic tourism regions.<\/p>\n

With Victoria Falls ranked among the world\u2019s leading natural wonders and a magnet for international visitors, hotel investments here are positioned to tap into year\u2011round tourism demand.<\/p>\n

Industry sources note that Radisson is exploring opportunities in the area, building on its entry into the Zimbabwe market and responding to rising interest from both leisure and business travelers.<\/p>\n

These developments come against a backdrop of broader African expansion by Radisson Hotel Group. Over the past year, the Group has signed 15+ new hotels and roughly 2,500 rooms, including market entries in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe, underscoring its continent\u2011wide momentum.<\/p>\n

Across Africa, Radisson\u2019s strategy has emphasised both new builds and conversions, allowing rapid scaling in high\u2011growth markets such as Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa, while also establishing a pipeline in emerging destinations.<\/p>\n

For Zimbabwe, Radisson\u2019s targeted investments in major urban and tourism hubs signal not only confidence in the nation\u2019s hospitality potential but also a broader trend of increased international capital flowing into the country\u2019s tourism and lifestyle sectors.<\/p>\n
