Radisson Hotel Group has announced The May Fair Hotel – an iconic London property – has become the first in England to join the group’s collection of hotels.

The May Fair Hotel has become the latest addition to Radisson Collection as part of its compilation of premium lifestyle properties, with the launch also coinciding with its first anniversary since its introduction to the Radisson Hotel Group brand architecture.

The May Fair Hotel offers 37 luxury suites and more than 400 rooms. Guests also have access to the serene May Fair Spa and Gym, as well as 11 state-of-the art meeting and event spaces to accommodate business travellers. The hotel also boasts the May Fair Kitchen showcasing the best of Spanish and Italian small plates, the award-winning May Fair Bar and May Fair Terrace.

The announcement also coincides with parties finalising the documentation on a 10 year extension to the partnership agreement between Radisson Hotel Group and Edwardian Hotels London, who own and operate The May Fair Hotel and 11 Radisson Blu Edwardian properties, now taking Edwardian Hotels London’s Master Franchise through to 2063.

Federico J. González-Tejera, president and CEO of Radisson Hospitality AB, said: “We are immensely proud to welcome an iconic hotel like The May Fair Hotel into the Radisson Collection family and we are thrilled to have an in-principle agreement on a further extension of our strategic partnership with Edwardian Hotels London for an additional 10 years taking us through to 2063.

“From its unbeatable location to its culinary flair and luxurious wellness facilities, everything about The May Fair Hotel is set up to deliver an exceptional guest experience. We created Radisson Collection with the ambition to bring our guests a unique global collection of hotels that offer an exceptional experience of effortless, contemporary living – while making sure each property reflects the individual character of its location. In this respect, The May Fair Hotel could not be a better fit.”

Jasminder Singh OBE, chairman and CEO of Edwardian Hotels London, added: “I am delighted that The May Fair Hotel has been recognised as London’s first hotel in the Radisson Collection and we look forward to the next phase of our long-standing strategic partnership with Radisson Hotel Group. This is testament to our unwavering commitment to guest service and is recognition of The May Fair Hotel’s preeminent position in the UK’s competitive luxury hotel market.”
