Radisson Hotel Group reported a record-breaking year in 2024 after adding almost 40,000 keys to its global brand portfolio.
It said that Radisson Blu remained the leading upper upscale brand in Europe for the 13th consecutive year and the group is now leading the upscale resort segment in EMEA.
Since its launch in 2018, the Radisson Collection brand grew in 2024 to nearly 70 hotels and with last year seeing the signing of the first Radisson Collection properties in Paris and Madrid, the signing of the group’s third Radisson Collection property in Riyadh, and the opening of flagship hotels in Rome (Italy), and Srinagar (India).
In collaboration with PPHE Hotel Group, Radisson Hotel Group also opened the doors to Art’otel London Hoxton in May. In early 2025, the group is also set to open an Art’otel property in Rome, marking the brand’s Italian debut.
On a brand basis, Radisson Blu counted over 20 additions to its portfolio, reflecting strong momentum in EMEA and APAC. Meanwhile, Radisson RED expanded into several new markets including Danang (Vietnam), Berlin (Germany), Auckland (New Zealand), Vientiane (Laos), and Abuja (Nigeria). Notable highlights are the debut of the brand in Ireland, with the opening of Radisson RED Galway, located in Galway’s newest neighborhood, Crown Square, and close to Galway’s city center.
Finally it said that Radisson Individuals, first launched in 2020, was one of the fastest-growing brands in APAC with almost 15 additions to the portfolio in the region in 2024, including openings in Udaipur as well as Saket in South Delhi (India). In EMEA, the brand expanded with new properties in Oman, Sardinia, Turkey, France, and the UK with openings in Surrey, as well as Bolton where the hotel is attached to the home of Bolton Wanderers Football Club.
Stepping into 2025, Radisson Hotel Group said it will continue to focus on expansions in strategic geographies, with the “right brand and solution for every market, creating more possibilities and opportunities for stakeholders”.
Elie Younes, executive VP and global chief development officer at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Despite global geopolitical shifts in 2024, we had a successful year thanks to our relentless efforts to serve our two key customers: the guest and the owner.
“In 2025, we will continue creating more possibilities and opportunities for all our stakeholders through building on existing segments and partnerships as well as seeking new business avenues. We are grateful to our owners, partners, shareholders, and dedicated teams, whose trust and support enable our joint success.”
