Radisson to add over 37,000 rooms to European portfolio

Radisson Hotel Group has successfully reopened a number of European hotels so far this year, as it plans to add over 37,000 rooms to its portfolio through signings to drive tourism across EMEA.  

The year began with the opening of the Radisson Collection Hotel in Berlin and was described “the new icon of Berlin” for offering an exceptional experience for business and leisure travelers alike.

This Berlin opening was followed by the signing of a Radisson Red Hotel in Berlin and a Radisson property in Krefeld, which will be part of a newly-built, mixed-use development. 

Meanwhile, the Red hotel in Berlin is currently undergoing extensive modernisation prior to its opening in late 2026. 

Later this year, a Prize by Radisson hotel in Osnabrück will open its doors, along with two new Radisson properties. 

In the UK, Radisson has announced the new Medlock Hotel, which is due to open in late 2026 on the Etihad Campus, home of Manchester City Football Club. The hotel will boast over 400 rooms, including a luxury penthouse suite, as well as access to the campus’ range of facilities. 

This followed the announcement of a Prize by Radisson hotel in Glasgow, the first within the UK. The group has since announced a 180-key new-build Radisson hotel, located at the new home of Oxford United Football Club, the UK’s first all-electric stadium. 

Elie Younes, executive VP and global chief development officer at Radisson, said: “‘From good to great’ best describes the evolution of our European network. We continue leading the upper-upscale segment on the continent in both urban and resort segments. Radisson Blu remains the largest upper-upscale brand in Europe for over a decade alongside Radisson Collection and Radisson RED. 

“Many new destinations and collaborations reflect our commitment to drive further value to our guests and owners such as our partnerships at the Porsche Design Tower in Stuttgart and with Manchester City Football Club in UK as well as many new additions in places like Barcelona, Madrid, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Milan, Zurich, Amsterdam, Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Canary Islands, Cortina, Sardinia, and more. We are grateful for the trust of our owners and the generosity of our people.”
