CANNES, FRANCE The Rezidor Hotel Group announces Radisson Blu 1835 Hotel & Thalasso, Cannes. The 134-key property, formerly known as 1835 White Palm Hotel, will be rebranded in December.
“We are delighted to open a further high-quality hotel in the South of France, which will clearly strengthen our presence along the Côte d’Azur,” says Rezidor President and CEO Kurt Ritter. Rezidor operates city hotels in Nice and Marseille, and the Cannes conversion brings its portfolio of hotels in operation and under development in France to 28 properties.
“Rezidor’s entrepreneurial spirit will add new value to the hotel and the extraordinary spa Les Thermes Marins de Cannes,” says Nathalie Esclapez, the hotel’s owner. She recently received the Médaille d’Argent du Tourisme and was named Manager de l’Année by the French group Nice-Matin.
