Radisson Collection brand to strengthen portfolio of luxury lifestyle hotels and resorts in 2024
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, Roma Antica, Grand
Hotel Brioni Pula, A Radisson Collection Hotel, and 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.
