Radisson Blu announced its latest hotel opening in the historic Turkish city of Trabzon. The 162-room Radisson Blu Hotel, Trabzon brings the portfolio of Radisson Hotel Group to 21 hotels in operation in the country.

Tim Cordon, area senior vice president, Middle East, Turkey & Africa, Radisson Hotel Group said: “We’re excited to open our first Radisson Blu in Trabzon and grow the presence of Europe’s largest upper upscale hotel brand on the northeast coastline of Turkey. Trabzon has traditionally held a strategic position on the coast of the Black Sea – a location that made it a famous trading port, especially on the old Silk Road. We hope to contribute to this rich heritage, and we are confident that both domestic and international travelers will enjoy exploring the city’s cultural highlights and lush landscape.”

The hotel’s signature dining experience comes from two restaurants: Kolcuoglu and Queen. Leisure facilities include a spa and wellness center, a gym, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

The meeting facilities feature five conference rooms and a stunning ballroom capable of hosting over 1,200 people. The ballroom space can also be divided into two rooms, making it ideal for business functions or social events. The five meeting rooms offer 284 square meters of space.
