Carlson Opens Third Radisson Hotel in Chile’s Capital Santiago

Carlson has opened the Radisson Petra La Dehesa Hotel in Santiago, the expansion of the Radisson brand in Chile forming part of Carlson’s Ambition 2015 growth strategy.

The 105-room Radisson Petra La Dehesa is located in northern Santiago, the most upscale residential area of the city. The hotel features an avant-garde design and includes a spa, an indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness center and 3,600 square feet of meeting and banquet space. Its full service restaurant ZAFRAN offers Mediterranean and international cuisines.

“Radisson currently operates six hotels in the country with another one in development,” says Thorsten Kirschke, president of Carlson Hotels, Americas. “The addition of a third Radisson hotel in Santiago represents a continued momentum in our Ambition 2015 growth strategy and is aligned with plans to expand Radisson as a vibrant, contemporary and globally consistent brand in key cities, resorts and airports.”
