Radisson is significantly strengthening its presence in East India by signing three new properties in Deoghar, Puri, and Ranchi. Moreover, this strategic move aligns perfectly with the hotel group’s broader expansion plans for India. As a result, it will add a total of 400 rooms across these three key destinations.
The three upcoming properties — Radisson Blu Hotel in Deoghar, Radisson RED in Puri, and Radisson Resort & Spa in Ranchi — will strategically leverage on unique regional opportunities. According to the group, these hotels will cater to local market needs while offering experiences that reflect global hospitality standards.
In Deoghar, Jharkhand, the Radisson Blu Hotel will become the city’s first internationally branded upper-upscale property. Deoghar, recognized for its spiritual significance and growing medical tourism, is also emerging as a destination for large weddings and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) events. Strategically situated near Deoghar Airport and AIIMS, the hotel will offer scenic views of the Tapovan and Trikuta Hills, aiming to cater to pilgrims, wellness seekers, and event organizers alike.
In Odisha, Radisson will introduce the state’s first hotel under the vibrant Radisson RED brand in Puri. Located on New Marine Drive Road near Puri Beach, the hotel will feature RED’s signature contemporary design along with carefully curated food, beverage, and wellness experiences. Targeting both modern leisure travelers and spiritual tourists, the property is expected to attract substantial crowds, especially during major events like the annual Ratha Yatra at the iconic Shree Jagannath Temple.
The Ranchi property, branded as Radisson Resort & Spa, will be located along the Ranchi–Jamshedpur highway amidst lush greenery. Designed as a premium destination, the resort will primarily cater to MICE events, weddings, and leisure travelers. Furthermore, as Ranchi continues to grow as an administrative and economic center, this hotel will mark Radisson’s fifth property in Jharkhand and its second in the state capital.
“With the growing momentum of spiritual, cultural, and medical tourism in India, Radisson Hotel Group is focused on staying ahead of the curve by offering world-class luxury and upscale hospitality across cities. With over 13 (five operational, eight in pipeline) properties in East India, this three-hotel signing deal is a strong testament to our commitment to expanding in high-potential markets across the country,” Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, said.
The Radisson Blu Hotel in Deoghar will feature regionally inspired food and beverage offerings, along with expansive spaces for meetings and events—specifically targeting weddings and corporate gatherings. As the first internationally upper-upscale hotel in the area, the property will enhance Radisson’s brand presence and recognition in the region.
“With strategic locations and tailored brand offerings, these hotels will further reinforce our presence in East India while delivering an exceptional experience to the guests,” he added.
Radisson RED Puri will offer 105 rooms, blending lifestyle-driven design with practical, functional spaces.The hotel will divide into two distinct sections: a beachfront zone offering low-rise rooms, a swimming pool, and a dining outlet, and a second block-style structure housing additional rooms, a rooftop bar with ocean views, meeting spaces, and wellness facilities. According to the group, this will be Puri’s first upscale lifestyle hotel, setting itself apart from existing and upcoming branded properties with a unique format and experience.
The Ranchi resort will span eight acres and feature 175 rooms, complemented by extensive meeting and banquet facilities. The company highlighted that this development will meet the increasing demand for upscale resort-style accommodations in the region, particularly for weddings and social MICE events.
Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, said, “This signing reflects our continued focus on unlocking value in high-potential micro-markets that are witnessing strong demand across spiritual, leisure and business travel segments. Deoghar, Puri and Ranchi each present a distinct opportunity — from being deeply rooted in religious & leisure tourism circuits to evolving into emerging economic and wellness hubs.”
Sanjay Kumar Sharda, director of Sharda Devcon Private Limited—Radisson’s partner on these projects—stated that collaborating with Radisson Hotel Group aligns with their goal of delivering high-quality hospitality experiences in emerging destinations. He added that, leveraging Radisson’s operational expertise and strong brand reputation, they are confident the partnership will enhance the hospitality sector in Jharkhand and Odisha, providing travelers with world-class comfort grounded in the region’s unique culture.
The partnership between Radisson Hotel Group and Sharda Devcon Private Limited marks a significant milestone in elevating hospitality standards across East India. With a focus on delivering world-class experiences in Deoghar, Puri, and Ranchi, this expansion will not only boost regional tourism but also support the growing demand for premium accommodations and event spaces in these emerging markets.
