Building on its record-breaking performance in 2024, Radisson Hotel Group continues its strong trajectory in 2025 with more than 210 hotel signings and openings already completed. The Group’s growth spans Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, reaffirming its ambition to become one of the world’s most dynamic and responsible hotel companies.
Strong performance and strategic expansion
“Our journey in 2025 reflects Radisson Hotel Group’s unwavering focus on excellence for our guests and owners,” said Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer. “Each new property has been carefully curated to match the evolving needs of travelers while advancing our global transformation.”
In Europe, Radisson Blu continues to lead the upper-upscale segment with flagship signings in France, Germany, Türkiye, and Montenegro. A standout project is The Medlock at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, redefining the concept of stadium hospitality. Later this year, Radisson Blu CDG Airport Terminal Hotel, Paris will open its doors at one of Europe’s busiest travel hubs.
Expanding the Radisson Collection footprint
France remains a key growth market for Radisson Collection, the Group’s luxury lifestyle brand. Milestones include the opening of Cour des Loges Lyon and the signing of Banke Opera Paris, set to debut in 2026. The brand also made its first appearance in Hungary with the Radisson Collection Hotel, Basilica Budapest, and celebrated the reopening of Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin in spectacular style. These openings strengthen the brand’s position as a showcase for design, heritage, and modern hospitality.
Sustainability and bold design at the core
Radisson RED, known for its vibrant design and creative energy, continues to expand globally with new hotels across the UK, Romania, India, the UAE, and Thailand. The opening of Radisson RED Oslo City Centre marked the Group’s second Verified Net Zero Hotel, underlining its sustainability leadership. In London, a partnership with PPHE Hotel Group will introduce the brand near Liverpool Street Station, while in Rome, the art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio is setting a new design benchmark.
Radisson Individuals, launched in 2020, now counts more than 100 properties in operation and development. The brand’s flexibility attracts independent owners in diverse markets including France, Portugal, Germany, Malta, Kazakhstan, the UK, Poland, Spain, Greece, Türkiye, India, and the Philippines. The new Premier, Boutique, and Retreats segments offer tailored solutions for distinct guest experiences.
Growth across APAC and resort destinations
The Radisson brand continues to evolve with sustainability-first initiatives and new market entries in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia, and Saudi Arabia. In the UK, Radisson will anchor a landmark all-electric stadium development for Oxford United Football Club.
Across APAC, momentum remains strong with 13 new openings in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Group’s resort portfolio now exceeds 160 properties, including new signings in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, and Egypt. Highlights include Radisson Hotel Cannes, Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels, and Radisson Collection Resort, Galle in Sri Lanka.
Milestones in China and India
China remains a powerhouse of growth: 130 new hotels have been signed or opened in 2025, bringing the pipeline close to 300. The Country Inn & Suites by Radisson brand leads expansion, with a portfolio of 375 hotels nationwide.
In India, the Group achieved a historic milestone with 200 hotels signed and opened. With 59 new signings in just 18 months and operations in 47 new cities, Radisson is on track to reach 500 hotels across India by 2030, strengthening its position as the country’s largest organically growing international operator.
Responsible growth, lasting value
“As we look ahead, our goal remains clear: to deliver meaningful value to owners, create memorable experiences for guests, and drive responsible growth that benefits communities worldwide,” said Younes.
The Radisson Hotel Group’s 2025 trajectory underscores its reputation as a forward-looking, purpose-driven hospitality leader—balancing rapid expansion with sustainability, design excellence, and long-term impact.
