Radisson Hotel Group has announced a record year of growth for Greece with four signings and three openings, leading international development activity in the country. The year 2022 marks an impressive period for the Group as it continues strengthening its growing trust from strategic investors and partners. With the signing of two hotels in Athens and two resorts in Mykonos and Skiathos, both of which opened earlier this year, the Group's portfolio now stands at seven hotels and resorts with more than 800 rooms in operation and under development.
Recently, Radisson Hotel Group introduced several of its brands to the Greek market. It signed its first Radisson RED property in Greece, Radisson RED Mitropoleos Square Athens, due to open in the second half of 2023 and will see the debut of its upscale lifestyle brand. A conversion of an old office building, the Radisson RED Mitropoleos Square Athens will include 100 rooms, 150 square metres of meeting space, and a fitness area. An all-day dining restaurant will be located on the ground floor with panoramic views of the local square. The property's highlight will be its rooftop bar and restaurant overlooking the Acropolis in association with a celebrity chef to be announced soon.
Opening this November, The Social Kolonaki Athens Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals, is a new member of the Group's growing Radisson Individuals portfolio. The hotel will be the only branded property on Voukourestiou Street, the most upscale retail street in the heart of Athens. The seven-story hotel with lively, urban interiors to match its fashionable location will comprise 24 spacious guestrooms and suites, including one presidential suite. The hotel is anticipated to become a lifestyle destination with a trendy restaurant and bar on the ground floor, a mezzanine breakfast area, and private dining facilities. The hotel lobby will be the ideal space for all types of art events and social gatherings.
The Group also marked another milestone this year with the expansion of its resort portfolio with two new resorts on the islands of Mykonos and Skiathos, joining the other island resort locations of Santorini and Crete where Radisson Hotel Group is already present.
Opened in May, Radisson Blu Euphoria Resort, is the Group's first hotel in Mykonos and the island's first core international brand in the world-renowned destination. Just steps from golden Kalo Livadi, the hotel features 34 stylish rooms and suites inspired by the famous whitewashed architecture of the Cyclades. Most rooms boast stunning vistas of the bay and the Aegean Sea, including the grand Euphoria Suite with its ample terrace and private pool.
Opened in July, Radisson Resort Plaza Skiathos prides itself as the Skiathos' first internationally branded hotel, located at Kanapitsa beach with 84 modern and minimalist guestrooms and suites that offer views of the hotel pool or the sea. The resort is also ideally suited for weddings with an onsite orthodox chapel and versatile outdoor pool area that provides receptions with stunning views.
Radisson Hotel Group currently operates five hotels and resorts in Greece, Radisson Blu Park Hotel in Athens; Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos in Crete; Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort, Santorini; Radisson Blu Euphoria Resort, Mykonos; and Radisson Resort Plaza Skiathos with two more to open in the coming months.
