Radisson Blu Renews Commitment To Hospitality Excellence Following 17 Years

Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden, a landmark hotel in Bangladesh’s capital city, has celebrated the renewal of its management agreement with Radisson Hotel Group and SENA Hotel Developments Limited, as it continues its 17-year brand legacy of providing exceptional, award-winning international hospitality to business and leisure travelers in Dhaka.

Since its opening in 2006, Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden has become one of the city’s most popular and prestigious destinations to stay. Surrounded by lush gardens and only a short drive from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, this urban resort features 200 contemporary rooms and suites, an outdoor pool, soothing spa and diverse dining options, along with more than 3,000 square meters of conference and banqueting facilities. 

In alignment with Radisson Hotel Group’s pathway to net positive hospitality, Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden has been making monumental steps towards their sustainability pathway with a robust and structured plan of action. The hotel is eco-label certified and offers Sustainable Stays through WTTC’s Hotel Sustainability Basics program. Initiatives launched at the hotel includes a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant and an in-house water filtration and bottling facility, as well as electric vehicle charging stations. It has also eliminated single-use plastic straws and established a towel and linen re-use program to reduce its energy consumption. 

This blend of international hospitality and environmental responsibility has helped the hotel achieve multiple honours, including a Silver Award as a “Leading Airport Hotel” in the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) and the certification of “Safehotels Executive Level” by Global Hotel Security Standard. As part of its plans to uplift the guest experience, this five-star premium property has undertaken an extensive renovation of its guestrooms and services. 

The signing of the renewed hotel management contract, which took place at Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden on 7th November 2023, reflects the strong performance of the hotel and the confidence that SENA Hotel Developments Limited has placed in Radisson Hotel Group.
