The Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of the Radisson RED London Greenwich in the UK.
It will be the first property to bring the group’s upscale, lifestyle select-service hotel brand to the English capital, joining other UK landmark Radisson RED hotels in Glasgow and Liverpool.
Opening in 2020, the Radisson RED London Greenwich will be located near many of London’s famous sights, and the 70-bedroom hotel will offer a bistro, bar, and a gym.
The new signing is part of an £8bn project to redevelop Greenwich Peninsula and transform it into a “must-visit” destination with an array of residential, retail and office space.
Elie Younes, executive vice president and chief development officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Radisson Red is for those who wish to stand out of the crowd and it now lands in London. Opening in 2020, it perfectly blends business and play around the O2. A sincere appreciation goes to our partners for their trust in our people and our brands.”
Vijay Thakkar, co-owner of the hotel, said: “We’re excited to ink the deal with Radisson Hotel Group to bring a Radisson RED property to London. The hotel shall attract both business and leisure travelers, and I am eagerly looking forward to its grand opening.”
