Radisson Hotel Group continues to accelerate its
expansion across Southeast Asia and the Pacific with new openings and
development projects in Vietnam, the Philippines, Australasia, Thailand and
Indonesia. The company is pursuing a market-specific strategy that combines the
right brands with local demand and owner objectives, strengthening its position
in both established and emerging destinations.
"Our recent openings and signings demonstrate how
we are working with both established and new partners to create distinctive
hotels and resorts that are right for their destinations and positioned for
long-term performance," said Ramzy Fenionos, Chief Development Officer
APAC at Radisson Hotel Group.
Strong growth in Vietnam and the Philippines
Vietnam remains one of the Group's key growth markets,
with 14 hotels and more than 3,100 rooms operating or under development. Recent
highlights include the opening of the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ha Long Bay and the
signing of the Radisson Hotel Westlake Hanoi, scheduled to open in 2028.
In the Philippines, Radisson Hotel Group now has eight
operating hotels and 17 more in development. Recent additions include LIME
Resort Bohol, the first Radisson Individuals Premier property in Asia-Pacific,
and Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue. Several new projects are also planned, ranging
from luxury beachfront resorts to mixed-use developments and branded
residences.
Expanding across Australasia and island destinations
The Group is also growing its footprint in Australia,
New Zealand and the South Pacific. Recent milestones include the opening of
Radisson RED Auckland, while new hotels are planned in Brisbane, Melbourne and
Queenstown. In Fiji, two new resorts are scheduled to open or reopen in 2027
following refurbishment, and Radisson Hotel Group will also enter Samoa with
Return to Paradise Resort, a member of Radisson Individuals.
Thailand and Indonesia are contributing to the
expansion as well. Two new Radisson resorts have recently opened in Phuket,
while serviced apartments are planned for Phuket and Bali over the coming
years.
Nearly 90 hotels across the region
Across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Radisson Hotel
Group now has 89 hotels with more than 17,000 rooms in operation or under
