With more than 210 signings and openings confirmed already this year, Radisson Hotel Group is steadily progressing toward its ambition of becoming one of the world’s leading hotel companies. The Group’s fast-expanding portfolio reflects evolving traveler preferences while aligning with long-term industry priorities.
Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, remarks, “The year so far has seen Radisson Hotel Group succeeding in our pursuit of excellence for customers and owners. Hotel openings have been carefully curated to what business and leisure travelers are seeking in 2025, and we have a very strong pipeline of hotel signings and anticipated openings.”
Across EMEA, Radisson Blu continues to solidify its dominance in the upper-upscale segment, securing landmark developments in France, Germany, Türkiye, and Montenegro. Standout additions include The Medlock at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium—a forward-thinking reimagining of the stadium hotel experience—and the highly anticipated Radisson Blu CDG Airport Terminal Hotel in Paris, set to open later this year.
France remains a major growth driver for the group’s luxury portfolio, particularly through the Radisson Collection brand. This year saw the opening of Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel, alongside the signing of the historic Banke Opera Paris, which is due to open in 2026. The brand also made its debut in Hungary with the Radisson Collection Hotel, Basilica Budapest, and celebrated the grand reopening of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin—underscoring its continued leadership in heritage-led luxury hospitality.
Radisson RED is also gaining strong traction globally, expanding across the UK, Romania, India, the UAE, and Thailand. The brand recently celebrated a sustainability milestone with the opening of Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, the group’s second verified net-zero hotel. In London, a collaboration with PPHE Hotel Group will bring the brand into the city center, while the partnership’s bold design footprint has also extended to Rome with art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio.
Radisson Individuals continues its steady ascent, providing owners with adaptability and brand flexibility. Since its 2020 launch, it has expanded past 100 hotels in operation and development. In 2025 alone, the brand grew further across France, Portugal, Germany, Malta, and Kazakhstan, while adding new signings in the UK, Poland, Spain, Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, India, and the Philippines. The introduction of three new segments—Premier, Boutique, and Retreats—further enhances its value proposition.
The Radisson brand continues to evolve through sustainability-focused developments and new market entries. Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, a verified net-zero hotel, became the brand’s first of its kind, while the portfolio expanded into the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia, and Madinah. In the UK, Radisson will serve as the flagship hotel within Oxford United Football Club’s fully electric stadium project. In APAC, momentum is equally strong, with 13 new Radisson openings across India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Responding to rising global demand for experiential leisure travel, the Group’s resort portfolio now exceeds 160 properties. New signings and openings across Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Egypt, and Armenia reflect the brand’s strategic focus on premium leisure destinations. Notable highlights include Radisson Hotel Cannes, Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels, Radisson Collection Resort, Galle, and Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Jaipur.
APAC continues to be a major engine of growth for Radisson Hotel Group. In China alone, 130 hotels have opened or been signed this year, bringing the total pipeline close to 300 hotels. Expansion remains concentrated in the mid- to upper-midscale segment, led by Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, now the fastest-growing brand in China with 375 hotels. Key metropolitan regions, including Wuhan, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Tianjin, and Shanghai, remain central to the Group’s long-term development strategy.
India is among the Group’s most dynamic markets. Radisson Hotel Group recently crossed a historic milestone of 200 hotels in the country, with more than 130 in operation and over 70 under development. Backed by 59 signings in just 18 months and expansion into 47 new cities, the Group is on track to accelerate toward its goal of 500 hotels in India by 2030.
Looking ahead, Younes adds, “As we look ahead, our goal is clear: delivering meaningful value to our owners, creating memorable experiences for our guests, and driving responsible growth that strengthens communities worldwide.”
