Radisson Group accelerates growth plans in Q1

Radisson Hotel Group has revealed that so far in Q1 2023, it has signed and opened several landmark properties as it continues its growth and development plan of nine brands spanning from economy to premium luxury brands across EMEA and APAC.

During the first quarter, the group opened its fifth Radisson Collection property in Italy, Santa Sofia Milan, as well as its first Radisson Collection property in Lithuania. The group also signed its second Radisson Collection property in Brussels, its first Radisson Collection property in Central Asia, as well as its third in Nigeria. 

Radisson Collection’s portfolio includes more than 50 properties in development and in operation. 

Meanwhile, all Prizeotel properties, new and existing, will roll-out the brand’s sustainability commitment ‘prizePromise’ in 2023, which includes 100% carbon neutral stays, green housekeeping, the elimination of single-use plastics, initiatives aligned with the Hotel Sustainability Basics, and the target of Net Zero by 2050. 

Radisson Blu, the group’s largest upscale brand in Europe for over a decade with more than 370 hotels in operation and development, continued to grow exponentially with the opening of Radisson Blu Grand Hotel and Spa, in Malo-les-Bains, France, the group’s 18th property in Poland, and the group’s debut in Lanzarote with the opening of Radisson Blu Resort. 

Elie Younes, executive VP and global chief development officer of Radisson Group, said: “We kicked off 2023 with strong landmark signings and openings creating more opportunities to our owners and possibilities to our guests. In Q1, we saw extraordinary growth in EMEA as well as APAC. 

“Our unique portfolio of brands for urban and leisure hotels cements Radisson Blu as the largest upper upscale brand in Europe and Radisson as the fastest growing brand in EMEA.”
