Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group has announced its first hotel on the Greek island of Crete, in partnership with the Geniatakis family.
The 318-bed Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Crete Milatos is scheduled to reopen after renovations in Q2 of 2016. Surrounded by fishing villages, the hotel enjoys a 180 degree sea view.
The hotel will offer a mix of facilities, including an all day dining restaurant, speciality restaurants and bars, a variety of pools and private pools, a private beach, tennis courts, leisure facilities and a spa – the details of which are yet to be announced.
This is Carlson Rezidor’s second Greek hotel: it already operations the Radisson Blue Hotel Athens. “We are delighted to arrive in Crete and look forward to our future co-operation with the Geniatakis family,” said Wolfgang Neumann, president and CEO of Rezidor.
The Geniatakis family have been in the tourism industry for 32 years and opened the hotel in 2002. They decided to enter into the partnership with Carlson Rezidor to combine their local heritage and knowledge with the international expertise of a global brand.
Crete has 2.5 million visitors a year and tourism is one of Greece’s main economic generators.
