29 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Radisson Hotel Group has reached a significant milestone of 200 hotels in India, following 59 new signings in the past 18 months, the global hospitality brand announced on Monday.

Present in over 95 countries, the Brussels-headquartered group plans to expand to 500 hotels in India by 2030. Currently, it operates 130 hotels, with another 70 under development, cementing its position as the fastest organically growing international hotel operator in the country.

The Asia Pacific region continues to drive Radisson’s growth, with China adding 130 hotels in 2025, bringing the region’s total pipeline close to 300 properties.

According to hospitality consulting firm Hotelivate’s 2025 Indian Hospitality Trends and Opportunities report, Radisson ranks third in existing inventory in India, behind Marriott International and Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL). The group has expanded into 47 new cities this year and now has a presence across 81 cities, compared to IHCL’s 103.

“The year so far has seen Radisson Hotel Group succeeding in our pursuit of excellence for customers and owners,” said Elie Younes, Executive Vice-President and Global Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group. “Our hotel openings are aligned with the needs of business and leisure travellers in 2025, supported by a strong pipeline of signings and openings.”

Globally, the company has secured over 210 hotel signings and openings this year, as part of its transformation into one of the world’s leading hospitality groups.

With leisure travel demand surging, Radisson continues to grow its resort portfolio, which now exceeds 160 properties, including new developments across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In India, this includes the Radisson Collection Resort and Spa in Jaipur.

Across the EMEA region, Radisson Blu remains Europe’s top upper-upscale brand, with new signings in France, Germany, Türkiye, and Montenegro. Meanwhile, Radisson RED and Radisson Individuals are expanding rapidly across India, the UK, UAE, Thailand, and Europe, with the latter now boasting over 100 hotels under its Premier, Boutique, and Retreats categories.
