Radisson Hotel Group completed 272 hotel signings and openings in 2025. The company focused growth on its resort segment and mid-scale brands in China and India.

The group maintained Radisson Blu as the largest upper-upscale brand in Europe, with properties in 154 cities. It now operates more than 160 resorts globally.

Strategic partnerships included a deal with Manchester City football club for the Medlock hotel at the Etihad Stadium. The group also signed Radisson Hotel Cannes Seaside.

In China, the company signed and opened 170 hotels, bringing its total pipeline to nearly 300 properties. Most growth occurred in the mid-scale segment.

The group reached a milestone of 200 hotels in operation or development in India. Growth in the region was supported by domestic travel demand.

Across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the company recorded 70 signings and openings. Key projects included sites in Paris, Bucharest, and Barcelona.

The company opened two net zero properties: Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre and Radisson RED Oslo City Centre. These serve as benchmarks for conversion-led sustainability.

Executive vice president and global chief development officer Elie Younes said: “We are grateful for the trust of our owners in our brands and our people. We create more opportunities and possibilities for our investors and guests across continents and segments, from midscale to lifestyle, luxury to resorts, and eventually crossing into alternative segments. The momentum that we achieved over the last years, alongside the competence and grit of our leadership teams, will secure more growth, resilience and opportunities in 2026 and beyond.”

Radisson Hotel Group’s sustained global expansion trajectory

The focus on robust growth in 2025 by Radisson Hotel Group aligns with a long-standing strategy of aggressive market penetration, exemplified by over 210 signings and openings in 2025. The company has consistently prioritised expanding its footprint in developing regions, as evidenced by significant investments in China and India, where the mid-scale segment has become a focal point. This strategy is a continuation of Radisson’s trajectory established in previous years, including the addition of 40,000 rooms in 2024, reflecting the company’s commitment to enhancing its operational scale.

In Europe, Radisson has maintained its position as a leader in the upper-upscale category, posting substantial growth in net zero properties and a strategic partnership with Manchester City football club. With over 37,000 new rooms projected for Europe, the operational framework set in earlier years supports this current momentum, ensuring a steady growth path into 2026 and beyond, amidst evolving market conditions.
