Radisson Hotel Group has continued its global growth momentum during the first half of 2026, signing and opening 160 hotels representing more than 22,000 keys across key international markets. The expansion reflects continued owner confidence in the group's brands and growing demand for branded hospitality across luxury, lifestyle, upscale, resort, conversion, and mixed-use developments.

The group strengthened its footprint across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific through a combination of new signings, hotel openings, market entries, and brand expansions. Its diversified brand portfolio continues to drive growth across established and emerging hospitality markets.

In Europe, Radisson Hotel Group announced several key developments, including the signing of Radisson Collection Hotel Frankfurt and Radisson RED Vienna Danube Riverside. The company also expanded its resort portfolio with new openings in Tenerife and Phuket, while Radisson Individuals continued its growth in Greece and Spain. Lifestyle brand Radisson RED entered new markets including New Zealand, the Philippines, and Türkiye, while Radisson Collection strengthened its presence in premium destinations such as Lake Como.

Across the Middle East and Africa, the group expanded with notable openings including Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Barsha Heights, Radisson Collection Residences Riyadh, and Radisson Blu Hotel Almaty Airport. During the period, the company also crossed the milestone of more than 100 hotels operating and under development across Africa.

Commenting on the group's performance, Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said the company continues to create long-term value for owners and guests through its brands and people while remaining committed to delivering sustainable growth and above-market returns.

Asia Pacific remained one of the group's fastest-growing regions, supported by strong travel demand and increasing investor confidence. China continued to play a central role in Radisson's long-term strategy with more than 260 hotels operating across multiple brands and a strong development pipeline extending into Tier II, III, and IV cities.

The group also expanded its presence across Southeast Asia and Australasia. LIME Resort Bohol, a member of Radisson Individuals Premier, marked the brand's debut in Southeast Asia Pacific, while Radisson RED Auckland became both the company's first hotel in New Zealand and the first Radisson RED property in Australasia.

India continued to be one of Radisson Hotel Group's strongest growth markets during the first half of 2026. The company signed and opened 22 hotels across the country, taking its development pipeline to nearly 100 hotels.

Currently, Radisson Hotel Group operates 142 hotels with more than 15,500 keys across 86 Indian cities, reinforcing its position as one of India's leading international hotel operators.

Highlighting India's strategic importance, Elie Younes said the country's growing demand for branded hospitality, improving infrastructure, and sustained owner confidence present significant long-term opportunities. He noted that these factors, combined with Radisson's established presence and brand recognition, continue to support the group's expansion strategy.

Earlier this year, Radisson Hotel Group also unveiled its India Vision 2030 strategy, aiming to expand its portfolio to 500 hotels across the country over the next five years.
