Radisson Blu Paris Boulogne is welcoming one of the more exciting sport event in France, the Grand Slam tournament Rolland Garros, for the fifth year running.

Roland Garros is a part of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments and will be taking place until June 5th. The Radisson Blu Hotel Paris Boulogne is proud to be the official partner hotel of the event since its opening in 2006.

Being a partner hotel means that Radisson Blu Hotel Paris Boulogne will lodge several well-known players and sponsors such as Babolat, Nike, BNP Paribas or Head Sport.

"We are very proud to be partner of this fantastic and worldwide event. During these two weeks, the hotel is transformed and really gets into the tennis spirit. The lobby will feature event posters, the Roland Garros tennis balls and an enormous tennis racket. It's very exciting," said the general manager of the hotel.

The director of sales at Radisson Blu Hotel in Paris, Carole Degioanni, will invite 3 VIP guests on the second day of tournament to share a memorable day.

On May 21st, Nike organised the "Nike Clinic Tour" at the Boulogne Tennis Club. This event was dedicated to children between 6 and 18 years old. Between 800 and 1000 people were invited and some of the famous tennis players played some games with the children. At the end of the day, everyone left with a Nike T-shirt and one winner will receive a complimentary night and dinner in the Radisson Blu Paris Boulogne Hotel with a parent.

The Radisson Blu Hotel Paris Boulogne became a partner hotel as it is the closest 4 stars hotel, about 2km from the stadium.
