Bedrijfsomschrijving
Radisson Hotel Group becomes Cycas’s sixth global hospitality partner in a deal marking Cycas’s fifth Benelux property, and its third in Amsterdam
Cycas Hospitality has signed a lease agreement with ECHO Partners to operate its first Radisson-branded property; the Radisson Hotel & Suites Amsterdam South.
When it opens in early 2021, the 227-suite Amsterdam aparthotel – which was recently acquired for the ECHO Fund – will become the first all-suite property to operate under the upscale Radisson brand in Western Europe.


To appeal to both transient and longer-staying travellers visiting the Dutch capital, each of the studio, one-bed and two-bed apartments has its own fully-equipped kitchen. Other facilities at the canal-front hotel include a gym, on-site bar and restaurant with outdoor terrace seating, plus underground parking for 70 cars.
Located in Amstelveen to the south of the city, the 10-storey hotel is within walking distance of the international companies who have their headquarters in Amsterdam’s booming district, such as KPMG, KLM and Canon.


With great transport links to the Zuidas central business district (3km), city centre (6km) and Schiphol Airport (8km), the property is well placed to cater for the growing demand for extended-stay accommodation options in this part of the city amongst project workers and relocating employees.
