Radisson Reports EMEA Portfolio Growth

Radisson Hotel Group has signed more than 50 hotels in its Europe, the Middle East and Africa region since the beginning of 2021, and opened nearly 30 in EMEA through Sept. 30, the company announced. Radisson had 446 open hotels and 138 in its EMEA pipeline as of Dec. 31, 2020, according to a company spokesperson. The total additions account for nearly a 14 percent increase to the company’s regional portfolio.

Among the additions, the company signed seven hotels in Morocco, and during the summer opened five that collectively include 1,600 rooms. This brings Radisson’s open and pipeline footprint in the country to 10 properties, with a strategy to reach 15 by 2025, according to the company. Radisson also doubled its presence in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, adding nearly 1,000 rooms and serviced apartments in the Thakher City project. In addition, it opened Radisson Collection hotels in Milan, Italy, and Seville, Spain.
