Radisson Hotel Group, in collaboration with Redevco, is set to introduce its esteemed Radisson Collection brand to the heart of Paris. Anticipated to open its doors in early 2027, this luxurious hotel will be nestled just moments away from Parisian landmarks such as the Louvre Museum and Le Marais, forming part of the eagerly awaited BPM (Beats Per Minute) development. Housed within an iconic Haussman building, this mixed-use project promises a blend of heritage and contemporary luxury.
The Radisson Collection brand, renowned for its iconic hotels in unique locales, finds a perfect match in Redevco’s BPM project. With a focus on environmental sustainability and architectural excellence, this urban development spans eight floors and covers over 13,000 square meters. Boasting retail and office spaces alongside the hotel, the building’s design emphasizes fluidity and elegance.
Featuring 57 thoughtfully designed rooms spread across the fifth to eighth floors, the hotel offers unparalleled views of Paris’s skyline. Guests can indulge in exquisite dining experiences at the seventh-floor restaurant or savor panoramic vistas of the city at the spectacular rooftop bar on the eighth floor. Additionally, the hotel’s basement houses a 12th-century crypt, steeped in history and awaiting conversion as part of the renovation.
Federico J. González, Executive Vice Chairman of Radisson Hotel Group, says “We are thrilled to bring the Radisson Collection brand to Paris with this landmark hotel. This project will not only elevate the Radisson Collection brand globally but also in France, where we currently have 23 hotels in operation and under development. With a focus on bespoke design, rich heritage, and exceptional experiences, the Radisson Collection hotel in the historic 126 Rivoli is sure to be an exceptional destination for both local and international guests.”
Conveniently located on Rue de Rivoli, one of Paris’s busiest streets, the hotel offers easy access to major attractions and transportation hubs. With its strategic position and luxurious amenities, the Radisson Collection hotel at BPM promises to be a captivating destination for both local residents and international travelers alike.
“The Redevco teams and I are delighted with this long-term partnership with Radisson Hotel Group. The implementation of the Radisson Collection hotel concept, tailor-made to respond to the unique character of our operation at 126 Rivoli, demonstrates our strategic desire to transform all of our assets into vibrant and innovative living spaces. Thanks to the high environmental requirements that we have set for this rehabilitation and its new uses, Redevco once again confirms its role as a major player in the sustainable and positive reinvention of the city of tomorrow,” said Thierry Cahierre, President of Redevco France.
With its blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury, this upcoming addition is poised to redefine hospitality in the heart of Paris.

In a landmark move aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has partnered with Le Park Concord Company to roll out 100 Super 8® by Wyndham hotels across the Kingdom over the next decade. This exclusive development agreement marks a significant milestone for both brands and aims to make quality and affordable lodging more accessible in the rapidly growing tourism market.
Supported by the Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia, the deal underscores the country’s commitment to welcoming a broader range of travelers—from business guests to religious and leisure visitors. The first property under this agreement is slated to open in 2026, with future Super 8 locations planned across key cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Al Khobar/Dammam, and major transit corridors.
Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, shared,"Bringing Super 8 to Saudi Arabia is a strategic move to make quality, affordable travel more accessible. We're excited to introduce a brand that blends stylish comfort with sustainability to one of the region's most dynamic markets."
Le Park Concord, a leading local operator currently managing 13 hotels with over 900 rooms and 13 more in the pipeline, will play a key role in developing these properties. The collaboration focuses on leveraging modular construction and eco-conscious designs to ensure guest comfort while supporting sustainable growth.
Mr. Fiaz Talal Alenezi, CEO of Le Park Concord, emphasized,"Our partnership with Wyndham helps bridge the gap in branded economy accommodations, bringing international standards and trusted loyalty benefits to Saudi Arabia’s expanding visitor base."
Tourism in the Kingdom is booming, with 30 million international arrivals in 2024 alone—a 9.5% increase from the previous year. The country aims to attract 150 million visitors annually by 2030. Despite the growth, branded budget hotels remain scarce, comprising just 6% of the national hotel pipeline, as per Knight Frank.
Super 8, a globally recognized economy hotel brand, is already on a global expansion spree, with 40 hotels planned across Spain and Portugal. With this Saudi partnership, Wyndham solidifies its presence in the Middle East while continuing to offer dependable, affordable, and design-forward lodging experiences for modern travelers.

Vietnam’s rising golf star, Tuan Anh Nguyen, delivered a sensational performance to win the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, sealing the title with a clutch birdie on the final hole.
At just 15 years old, the youngster from Ho Chi Minh City showed remarkable calm and composure to finish with an eight-under-par total of 205, with rounds of 65, 70, and 70. He was the only player to shoot under par on all three days, fending off a strong final-round push by South Korea’s Jaemin Park.
“I just tried to stay calm and focused,” said Tuan Anh. “It’s a special feeling to win such a big event, especially in Vietnam. This gives me a lot of belief going forward.”
With this win, Tuan Anh becomes the third Vietnamese champion in a row, following Nguyen Duc Son (2024) and Nguyen Anh Minh (2023). His victory not only highlights his individual brilliance but also reflects Vietnam’s growing prominence in the junior golf circuit.
The event, held at the Laguna Golf Lang Co—a Sir Nick Faldo Signature Design course—hosted around 60 young players from over a dozen countries. The venue has been the home of the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final since 2017 and is regarded as one of Asia’s finest championship courses.
“It’s been a tremendous week of golf,” shared Matthew Faldo, Director of the Faldo Series. “How these young players have conducted themselves—both on and off the course—has been magnificent.”
Other notable winners included Japan’s Rinka Yasuda, who took the Girls’ Under-21 title, and Singapore’s Jaydon Pang, who won the Boys’ Under-16 division. Tuan Anh also topped the Boys’ Under-18 category in addition to his overall win.
Supported by the Vietnam Golf Association and strategic partners like Vietnam Golf Coast, the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final continues to be a platform for emerging talent. With stars like Tuan Anh leading the way, Vietnam’s junior golf future looks exceptionally bright.
“This week has reinforced our commitment to junior golf in Asia,” said Stephen Banks, Director of Golf at Laguna Golf Lang Co. “To see a Vietnamese champion crowned here at our course is a proud moment. The future of golf in Vietnam is full of promise.”
