Radisson Hotel Group Reflects on a Record Year with Significant Openings

Radisson Hotel Group reported a record-breaking year in 2024 after adding almost 40,000 keys to its global brand portfolio, thereby achieving significant milestones and further strengthening its footprint around the world.

Radisson Blu remained the leading upper upscale brand in Europe for the 13th consecutive year and the Group is now leading the upscale resort segment in EMEA.

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, comments: “Despite global geopolitical shifts in 2024, we had a successful year thanks to our relentless efforts to serve our two key customers: the guest and the owner. In 2025, we will continue creating more possibilities and opportunities for all our stakeholders through building on existing segments and partnerships as well as seeking new business avenues. We are grateful to our owners, partners, shareholders, and dedicated teams, whose trust and support enable our joint success.”

With a clear vision for growth and development set out by Radisson Hotel Group’s transformation plan, the Group has been able to achieve the following successes across its portfolio in 2024:

Since its launch in 2018, the Radisson Collection brand grew in 2024 to nearly 70 hotels and achieved significant portfolio growth across key destinations. This included the signing of the first Radisson Collection properties in Paris and Madrid, and the opening of flagship hotels in Rome (Italy) and Srinagar (India).

In collaboration with PPHE Hotel Group, Radisson Hotel Group opened the doors to art’otel London Hoxton in May. The hotel is in the vibrant Hoxton neighborhood and combines captivating artwork by Signature Artist D*Face with cutting-edge design. In early 2025, the Group is also set to open an art’otel property in Rome, marking the brand’s Italian debut.

Radisson Blu achieved remarkable success last year, as the brand counted over 20 additions to its portfolio, reflecting strong momentum in EMEA and APAC. This growth included openings and signings which redefined the skyline of some of the world’s most renowned cities such as Casablanca (Morocco).

Other notable expansions include Radisson RED into several new markets including Danang (Vietnam), Berlin (Germany), Auckland (New Zealand), Vientiane (Laos), and Abuja (Nigeria). The first opening of Radisson RED brand in Ireland marked a significant milestone.

Moving into 2025, Radisson Hotel Group will continue to enhance its portfolio with strategic expansions in breathtaking destinations, allowing more possibilities for stakeholders.
