RED Goes Green: Radisson RED Oslo City Centre Opens as a Verified Net Zero Hotel

International

Radisson Hotel Group proudly announces the opening of Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, one of the first two hotels worldwide to achieve Verified Net Zero status.

With 118 redesigned guest rooms, vibrant social spaces, and flexible meeting facilities, the hotel blends Scandinavian minimalism with a playful, contemporary twist.

The property marks a milestone in sustainable hospitality. Verified by TÜV Rheinland, it already meets the 2040 requirements of the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels, placing it well ahead of the Group’s 2050 Net Zero target. Formerly the Park Inn by Radisson, the fully transformed building now offers guests easy access to Oslo landmarks such as the Opera House, the Munch Museum, and the Royal Palace Gardens.

A new standard for city hospitality

Radisson RED Oslo City Centre combines high design with an inclusive atmosphere, offering a restaurant, bar, lounge, gym, and six meeting rooms for up to 100 guests. Its interiors feature bold colors, tech-forward amenities, and social spaces designed for connection and creativity.

At the forefront of climate-conscious travel

Built in 1939, the hotel has undergone an extensive transformation to meet rigorous Verified Net Zero standards. It runs entirely on 100% renewable energy, offers low-carbon menus in partnership with Klimato, and operates with minimal waste initiatives including food waste tracking, recycling partnerships, and plastic-free amenities.

“Pioneering the first two Verified Net Zero hotels is a significant milestone,” said Inge Huijbrechts, Chief Sustainability & Security Officer at Radisson Hotel Group. “With most buildings that must reach Net Zero by 2050 already in existence, transforming current properties is essential.”

Remaining emissions are offset through carbon removal certificates from regenerative farming projects across Europe. Guests can experience these efforts directly, from renewable energy to digital tools reducing paper use, bulk bathroom amenities, and recycling in all rooms.

“Radisson RED Oslo City Centre proves that energy-efficient transformation is possible for existing buildings,” added Tom Flanagan Karttunen, COO, Leased Hotels, Radisson Hotel Group. “We deliver memorable, responsible stays that align with guest expectations.”

With Oslo now home to one of the world’s first Verified Net Zero hotels, visitors can enjoy modern comfort while knowing their stay leaves no carbon footprint.
