Bike racks in the lobby, early breakfast times… this can only mean one thing. For the fourth year in a row, Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth will be the preferred Road Race accommodation partner of the upcoming Herald Cycle Tour (HCT) 2020.

The popular beachfront hotel, which is perfectly situated right across the start and finish line of the HCT Road Race taking place on 23 February in Port Elizabeth, offers an ideal stay for all cyclists and travelling supporters.

 “Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth is situated in a prime location, it’s in the heart of the HCT action and cyclists and supporters have the convenience of walking to the start/finish line,” said Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth Marketing Manager Lesley Geyer.

Geyer said the HCT is a great drawcard for Nelson Mandela Bay, as it attracts professional cycling teams and race officials to experience the magic of Algoa Bay’s coastline through its cycle routes.   

“The energy and excitement of the weekend festival of cycling creates a hive of activity with many professional cycling teams and race officials staying at the hotel, enjoying exceptional staff hospitality and excellent facilities,” said Geyer.  

Apart from a safe and well-organised Road Race event, fans and supporters can also look forward to a celebration of entertainment at the HCT Race Village at Pollok Beach on 23 February.  

“The Road Race event goes beyond race day - these are the holiday-makers who consider the city for return leisure visits or weekend getaways throughout the year; making it great for properties such as ours, who enjoy hosting tourists in the city,” said Geyer. 

Radisson Blu Hotel Port Elizabeth is offering preferential accommodation rates between 21 - 24 February 2020 to all participants, who will be able to experience the energy and excitement of the weekend festival of cycling. These include:  

  • Single occupancy at R1 400 per room, per night, with continental breakfast included.

  • Double occupancy at R1 600 per room, per night, with continental breakfast included.
