“The partnership with Nespresso further strengthens our goal to establish Radisson SAS as a preferred hotel brand amongst the modern business travelers. The Nespresso brand is known worldwide for its unique concept, individuality and sophistication, and this perfectly complements the future generation of Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts,” said Kurt Ritter, president & CEO of Rezidor SAS Hospitality. “Enjoying a perfect cup of freshly brewed coffee in the comforts of your own room is a service that I am sure our guests will enjoy and appreciate,” he added.
