Radisson Hotel Group has seen rapid growth of the Radisson Collection brand since its launch in 2018 as a luxury lifestyle brand of individual hotels with distinct character. By the end of 2023, the Radisson Collection brand portfolio will encompass 35 hotels in operation and 24 under development globally, offering over 7000 guest rooms and suites.
The Radisson Collection brand has developed as a hallmark of iconic hotels in unique locations, representing both famed heritage hotels and new properties. The collection of hotels united under the Radisson Collection brand occupy sought-after locations at dynamic destinations in Europe, the Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. The notable new additions coming in 2024 and 2025 build upon the success and heritage of existing properties within the Radisson Collection while reflecting the brand hallmarks of exceptional gastronomy, art, design and heritage experiences, and creating genuine local connections.
Art, Dining & Local Experiences lead the way for Radisson Collection
Radisson Collection’s ongoing Global Art Series has been formed through collaborations with emerging contemporary artists to create immersive artwork highlighting iconic Radisson Collection locations through both Instagram and in-person exhibitions. These partnerships provide not only an exclusive experience for guests to virtually discover Radisson Collection destinations from a unique angle, but also bring Radisson Collection iconic properties to life through a variety of art mediums.
The latest collaboration in the series is with 3D digital artist, Alexis Christodoulou of Color C Studio, known for creating imaginary architectural spaces that transport the imagination into his dream-like world of pastel colors and soothing environments. His first collaboration with Radisson Collection will be for Radisson Collection Strand Hotel, Stockholm. Followed by the soon-to-open Radisson Collection Hotel, Magdalena Plaza Sevilla.
Radisson Collection emphasizes gastronomy as a key part of the travel experiences and showcases this through partnerships such as with Michelin-starred Chef Eneko Atxa for Eneko Basque restaurant at Radisson Collection Hotel, Magdalena Plaza Sevilla and NKO by Eneko at Radisson Collection Hotel, Gran Vía Bilbao. The highly anticipated debut of the Cour Des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel in 2024 will also include the re-opening of Michelin starred restaurant Les Loges under Chef Anthony Bonnet.
