A smarter investment with global rewards, backed by Radisson Hotel Group
June 2026
Radisson Serviced Apartments Umhlanga combines the security of property ownership with the strength of Radisson Hotel Group, one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, while giving investors access to exclusive travel benefits and rewards across a global portfolio of properties.
With more than 1 500 hotels in operation and development across over 100 countries, Radisson Hotel Group has built a reputation for quality, consistency and exceptional guest experiences. Now it brings that same trusted standard to Umhlanga, within the sought-after Gateway precinct. Through its global reservation systems, loyalty programmes and international marketing reach, the Radisson brand attracts travellers from around the world and provides a level of visibility that independent accommodation offerings cannot match.
Designed around the Radisson standard
Inspired by Radisson’s Scandinavian roots, the design philosophy centres around simplicity, functionality, comfort and balance. Every aspect of the guest experience has been considered to create an environment that feels contemporary, welcoming and effortless — a home away from home.
From the quality of the finishes and furnishings to the operational standards and guest services, the development has been designed to align with the expectations associated with one of the world’s most recognised hospitality brands. This commitment to consistency is one of the key advantages of branded hospitality real estate: guests know what to expect, and investors benefit from a product aligned with internationally recognised standards.
Why invest in Radisson Serviced Apartments Umhlanga?
- No transfer costs — purchasing off-plan reduces the initial investment outlay and maximises capital efficiency.
- Sectional title ownership — direct ownership of your apartment within a professionally managed branded development.
- Professionally furnished and managed — fully furnished by SOHO Asset Management and professionally managed by Radisson Hotel Group, for a turnkey, passive investment.
- Built for long-term value — expected to be completed approximately two years after final approval, in one of South Africa’s most desirable coastal destinations.
