Radisson Hotel Group closed 2025 with over 272 hotel signings and openings globally, reinforcing its position as a leading owner-centric operator while strengthening its dominance across Europe’s upper-upscale and resort segments.
The group retained Radisson Blu as Europe’s largest upper-upscale brand, now present in 154 cities, while continuing to lead the region’s resort segment with Radisson Blu resorts across 27 destinations.
“We are grateful for the trust of our owners in our brands and our people. The momentum we have achieved will secure more growth, resilience and opportunities in 2026 and beyond.”

Europe Momentum Anchored in Partnerships and Conversions
Across EMEA, Radisson recorded around 70 signings and openings, with a strong focus on key markets including the UK, France, Germany, and Poland. Strategic developments include The Medlock, a Radisson Blu Hotel at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, alongside new projects in Paris, Barcelona, and Bucharest.
The group continues to benefit from deep owner relationships, with 65% of its partners operating multiple properties—highlighting sustained investor confidence in Radisson’s platform.
Sustainability Sets New Benchmarks
Radisson Hotel Group also advanced its sustainability agenda with the launch of two Verified Net Zero hotels—Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre and Radisson RED Oslo City Centre—marking a first for the industry and reinforcing its focus on future-ready, conversion-led development.
Global Growth Driven by Key Markets
Beyond Europe, expansion was led by China, where 170 hotels were signed and opened, and India, where the group crossed 200 hotels in operation and development—positioning both markets as long-term growth anchors.
Resort-Led Expansion Continues
Leisure demand remains a major driver, with Radisson’s global resort portfolio surpassing 160 properties. New openings across Bali, Çeşme, and Brussels reflect growing demand for hybrid resort and urban-resort formats—an increasingly relevant model for planners balancing leisure and MICE requirements.
