With four new properties confirmed and several existing hotels already garnering international recognition, the Group is significantly expanding its presence to meet growing demand from both leisure and business travelers.

First Radisson RED to Debut in Bucharest

A standout among the new developments is the Radisson RED Bucharest Old Town, set to open in 2027. The property will mark the debut of the Radisson RED brand in Romania. Housed in a fully renovated 1940s building that once belonged to the Institute of Hydroelectric Studies, the hotel will offer 104 guest rooms in the heart of the historic district. The property will feature a restaurant, bar, co-working lounge, outdoor terrace, and flexible event spaces, including a 100 m² multipurpose room and a rooftop pop-up venue.

Radisson Blu Expands in Mountain and Coastal Destinations

In early 2027, the Radisson Blu Grand Mountain Resort, Brasov will open in the scenic Carpathian Mountains. The resort will cater to adventure and nature enthusiasts with luxury accommodations, a wellness center, and a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and mountain biking.

On the Black Sea coast, the Radisson Blu Resort & Residences, Mamaia is scheduled for a 2028 opening. This luxury destination will feature 234 rooms and 102 branded residences, offering sea-view suites, a spa and fitness center, multiple dining venues, and expansive event spaces. Highlights include Presidential Suites, duplex apartments, a grand ballroom, and an outdoor pool bar.

Urban Oasis Planned for Capital City

Also underway is the Radisson Lagoon Hotel Bucharest, located in the Central District’s Lagoon City. The upscale urban resort will include 323 rooms, a spa, a private 1,100 m² sandy beach, and access to a 10,000 m² lagoon. The property will blend city convenience with resort-style luxury, featuring lagoon-view rooms, fine dining, wellness facilities, and multiple pools.

Romania’s Growing Role in Travel and Tourism

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, commented:

“Romania is a dynamic and rapidly growing market for hotel development. Its recent entry into the Schengen Area will further boost travel and trade. Combined with the country’s cultural richness and natural beauty, Romania presents a prime opportunity for strategic expansion.”

A Strong Foundation Already in Place

Radisson Hotel Group’s current Romanian portfolio includes award-winning properties such as the Radisson Blu Hotel, Bucharest, repeatedly named Romania's Leading Business Hotel, and the centrally located Park Inn by Radisson Bucharest Hotel & Residence. Together, they offer 659 rooms and a shared resort-style outdoor pool area.

In Transylvania, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Cluj is recognized for its design and prime location, while the Radisson Blu Aurum Hotel, Brasov has earned praise for its culinary offerings and sustainable practices.

These new projects, together with the established presence, position Radisson Hotel Group as a key player in Romania’s hospitality landscape.
