Radisson Hotel Group continues to consolidate its position as one of the largest international hotel groups in the Middle East, with an expansive portfolio of 77 properties in operation and under development. At this year's Future Hospitality Summit held in the UAE, the Group announced ambitious expansion plans to add over 5,000 keys to its growing portfolio in the next five years.
After two years of successful record-breaking signings and significant developments, Radisson Hotel Group continues to focus on the Middle East market, with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as its core markets. The Group has a tenacious goal to sign at least five hotels and open over 1000 keys within 12 months.
In the UAE, Radisson Hotel Group is set to open the highly-anticipated resort Radisson Beach Resort Palm Jumeirah later this year, following the triumphant opening of Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah on Marjan Island earlier this year as the first Radisson Resort in the region. As part of the Group's aim to bolster its resort portfolio, the property will open at one of the most lively destinations in Dubai - West Beach, Palm Jumeirah.
The most recent debut of Radisson Hotel Riyadh Airport marked the Group's first Radisson branded hotel in Riyadh, KSA. Meanwhile, in June, the opening of Mansard Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel - the luxury lifestyle brand's second property in the city - further strengthed its collection of city and leisure hotels across Riyadh. With a robust pipeline, the Group now has over 25 properties in operation and under development in the Kingdom, including the upcoming openings of Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh Convention and Exhibition Center, and Park Inn by Radisson hotels in Makkah's Thakher City Development.
In Jordan, Radisson Hotel Group also announced the signing of Radisson Blu Hotel, Amman Galleria Mall, earlier this year, signalling the Group's entry into another major capital city in the Middle East. With construction underway, the hotel is expected to open in 2023. Additionally, the Group is bringing its second brand to Kuwait with the signing of a Park Inn by Radisson Kuwait Hotel & Apartments, offering both hotel rooms and serviced apartments. The newly built property is slated to open at the end of 2023 and will comprise 250 keys. The recent signing of the 108-key Park Inn by Radisson Muscat Airport will also help cement its presence in the Sultanate of Oman.
Radisson Hotel Group currently operates 52 properties in the Middle East with over 11,000 keys, catering to the evolving and diverse needs of today's travellers. As leisure and business travel rebounds, the global hospitality leader is working on 25 properties in the region with more than 5,000 keys under development.
