Radisson Hotel Group has accelerated its global expansion in the first half of 2026, securing new signings across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
The group said growth was driven by owner appetite for internationally recognised brands, recording milestones across its luxury, lifestyle and resort portfolios.
Across Europe, Radisson Hotel Group expanded its pipeline with new agreements in Frankfurt and Vienna, alongside openings in Austria, Germany, Poland, Spain and Greece. The company also extended its sustainability efforts, adding 10 properties across northern Europe and South Africa to its net zero carbon reduction programme.
The group’s momentum continued across the Middle East and Africa, where it opened new hotels in Dubai, Riyadh and Almaty. The expansion also saw Radisson Hotel Group surpass a significant milestone in Africa, with more than 100 hotels now either operational or under development across the continent.
In Asia Pacific, the company continued to grow its footprint in China, where it now operates more than 260 hotels across its midscale and lifestyle brands, with a focus on major urban centres including Beijing and Wuhan. The group also marked its entry into New Zealand with the opening of its first branded property in Auckland.
India remained a key growth market for Radisson Hotel Group during the period, with the company signing and opening 22 hotels in the first six months of the year. This expansion has taken its pipeline in the country to nearly 100 properties, while the group currently operates 142 hotels across 86 Indian cities.
Building on this momentum, Radisson Hotel Group has outlined an ambition to grow its Indian portfolio to 500 hotels by 2031, supported by rising demand, improving infrastructure and continued confidence from hotel owners.
Elie Younes, executive vice president and global chief development officer, said: “We create value for our guests and owners through our brands and people. We believe in the long-term nature of our business and are committed to delivering above market returns to all our stakeholders.”
Younes added: “India is one of the most promising hotel development markets in the world today. Demand continues to outpace supply, infrastructure is improving rapidly and owner confidence remains high.”
