The first half of the year saw Radisson Hotel Group achieving significant milestones and growing its global presence. The lodging company progressed towards achieving its growth plan in H1 2024 and has added more than 130 new signings and openings across EMEA and APAC regions, Radisson said in a statement.
The new signings and openings include Radisson RED’s expansion into new markets, such as Ireland, New Zealand, Thailand, Laos and China, bringing its global portfolio to nearly 90 hotels.
The Radisson Collection and Radisson Blu brands also widened their footprint, with roughly 20 new Radisson Blu signings.
“During the first six months this year, we reported strong growth across our international portfolio, while consistently creating relevance for guests and value for owners. Radisson Hotel Group’s brands offer a clear solution for every market,” said Elie Younes, executive vice president and global chief development officer at Radisson Hotel Group.
Radisson’s portfolio in the EMEA saw a remarkable growth across key destinations. Some of the notable additions to the estate include the signing of the first Radisson Collection near the Louvre Museum in Paris and the opening of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Roma Antica located close to the Pantheon in Rome. Strengthening its presence in Saudi Arabia, the company signed the Radisson Collection Residences in Riyadh. The property is slated to open later this year as the group’s 10th hotel in Riyadh and 44th in Saudi Arabia.
The group signed close to 20 new Radisson Blu hotels in H1 2024, further building its presence in Europe’s upper upscale brand segment. Some of the brand’s notable new signings included properties in Italy, Montenegro, Tunisia and Tanzania, as well as the Radisson Blu Das Triest Hotel in Vienna, which will welcome guests in the coming months.

Catering to growing demand, Radisson signed some hotels in Southeast Asian markets, including in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos.

Some of the new signings include the country’s first Cricket Stadium Hotel (which will have 75% of its rooms offering exclusive views of the main cricket field in Rajasthan) and the Radisson Collection in Udaipur. The recent opening of Radisson Collection Hotel & Spa, Riverfront Srinagar also highlights the group’s strategic advancement in the Indian market.
