Radisson Hotel Group has announced plans to add the first property under its Radisson RED brand in the German capital.
The group’s existing Park Plaza Berlin Kudamm has been closed for renovations since November, and is set to reopen as the Radisson RED Berlin Kudamm in late spring.
The hotel is located on Joachimstaler Strasse close to the city’s Kurfurstendamm, within walking distance of attractions including the KaDeWe department store, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Berlin Zoo and Tiergarten park.
The property will feature 133 rooms including 14 studios, as well as a ground floor all day dining restaurant, events space, a games area, and a summer garden terrace in the building’s inner courtyard.
The rebranding will leave two Park Plaza properties in Germany’s capital – Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte and Park Plaza Berlin.
The group’s other hotels in Berlin include Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin (formerly the Radisson Blu Berlin), art’otel Berlin Mitte, and Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz.
Last year the city’s third largest hotel – the 710-room Hotel Berlin, Berlin – joined the group’s independent hotel focused Radisson Individuals brand.
Commenting on the news Reli Slonim, president of the management board and chief executive officer of Arena Hospitality Group (the co-owner and manager of the property), said:
“We are thrilled to announce the Radisson RED Berlin Kudamm and believe this dynamic brand will be a great addition to the Berlin hotel market, in what is one of Europe’s most vibrant capital cities.
“This repositioning project is scheduled to open ahead of the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament and will complement our already diversified hotel portfolio in the German capital.
“This new Radisson RED opening will follow shortly after our planned January 2024 launch of the Radisson RED Belgrade, which are both part of our further growth and portfolio optimisation strategy.”
The Radisson RED brand launched in Brussels in 2016, and has since added several UK properties in locations including Glasgow and Liverpool, with a forthcoming hotel close to Edinburgh airport.
In 2020 the former Park Inn Heathrow split into two hotels, including the 258-room Radisson RED London Heathrow. For our Tried and Tested review of this property click here.
