Radisson Hotel Group added over 30,000 rooms to its portfolio last year, a record for the company.
Growth areas included the Radisson Individuals soft brand, which saw the addition of properties including the 710-room Hotel Berlin, Berlin, the 75-room Hotel YAC Paris Clichy, and the 212-room Flightgate Munich Airport Hotel.
The group said that its Radisson Blu brand was the largest upper upscale brand in Europe for the 12th consecutive year in 2023.
Recent additions include the Radisson Blu Hotel at Porsche Design Tower Stuttgart (see our round-up of December hotel openings for more information), and last month it was announced that the brand would open a property within the forthcoming Tour Triangle development in Paris.
Radisson Hotel Group was acquired by a consortium led by Jin Jiang International in 2018, and the firm said it had grown its business by nearly 50 per cent since it launched a transformation plan that year.
Commenting on the news Elie Younes, executive vice president and global chief development officer at Radisson Hotel Group, said:
“We are grateful to our owners and colleagues who helped us achieve a strong 2023 with more than 250 signings and openings worldwide and over 30,000 keys added to our portfolio, our highest ever.
“We expect 2024 to be a continuation of 2023, with slower inflation and continued investor appetite in our sector.
“We will continue to innovate and respond to the ever-changing environment to create more opportunities for our owners and possibilities for our guests.”
This week it was announced that the current London Marriott Hotel Twickenham within London’s Twickenham Stadium will be rebranded as a Radisson RED property following refurbishment.
