Radisson Hotel Group wrapped up 2025 on a strong note with more than 272 hotel signings and openings, further strengthening its position as an owner-focused hospitality group. The performance reflects steady growth across regions and segments, setting a solid base as the group moves into 2026.

In Europe, the group continued to lead the upper-upscale category, with Radisson Blu maintaining its position as the largest brand in this segment, present in 154 cities. The brand also held its ground in the resort space, with Radisson Blu resorts spread across 27 destinations, showing consistent demand for leisure-led travel across the continent.

The year also saw the group entering key partnerships that added to its portfolio. This includes The Medlock, a Radisson Blu Hotel at Manchester City football club’s Etihad Stadium, along with collaborations on projects like “The Butler” with the MIMCO Group and Radisson Hotel Cannes Seaside with Byron Gestion. At the same time, existing relationships remained strong, with a majority of owners continuing to invest, and 65% of them operating more than one hotel with the group.

Sustainability remained a clear focus area. Radisson Hotel Group introduced two Verified Net Zero Hotels, Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre and Radisson RED Oslo City Centre. These developments highlight the group’s push towards responsible growth while also offering long-term value for owners through environmentally conscious operations.

Commenting on the growth, Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, said, "We are grateful for the trust of our owners in our brands and our people. We create more opportunities and possibilities for our investors and guests across continents and segments, from midscale to lifestyle, luxury to resorts, and eventually crossing into alternative segments. The momentum that we achieved over the last years, alongside the competence and grit of our leadership teams, will secure more growth, resilience and opportunities in 2026 and beyond.”

On the global front, China emerged as a key growth driver, with 170 hotels signed and opened during the year, taking the pipeline close to 300 properties. Much of this growth was led by the mid- to upper mid-scale segments, especially through the expansion of Country Inn & Suites by Radisson.

India also stood out as one of the most active markets for the group. Crossing the milestone of 200 hotels in operation and under development, the country continues to play a key role in Radisson’s long-term plans, supported by strong domestic travel demand and investor confidence.

Across EMEA, the group recorded around 70 signings and openings, focusing on markets such as Southern Europe, the UK, France, Germany, and Poland. Key additions included projects in Paris, Bucharest, Egypt, Germany, and Barcelona, reflecting a balanced expansion strategy across both established and emerging destinations.

Leisure-focused growth remained a major highlight, with the group’s resort portfolio crossing 160 properties worldwide. New additions such as Atiara Ubud Bali, a Radisson Collection Resort, Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Çeşme, and Radisson Collection The National Hotel in Brussels underline the rising demand for resort and urban-resort experiences.

With strong performance across regions, a focus on sustainability, and steady expansion in key markets like India and China, Radisson Hotel Group is well-positioned to carry its momentum forward into 2026.
