Radisson RED offers stylish spaces with standout
designs where guests can feel inspired, engaged and connected to the heart of
the destination. The new launch draws inspiration from Aotea’s surrounding arts
and entertainment venues, creating social spaces designed for guests to unwind
and relax in the informal and inviting hotel environment.
Since the reopening of the country’s international
borders in August 2022, New Zealand’s tourism industry has enjoyed robust
growth, with 2.96 million overseas visitor arrivals in the year ending December
2023, up by 1.52 million from the previous year. The property is owned by
Stonewood Group, a prominent developer with a robust track record in New
Zealand’s property sector. This underscores Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment
to engaging with owners through various diverse business models within the Auckland
and New Zealand hospitality market.
“The signing of the Radisson RED Auckland marks a
key milestone in our Australasia development strategy. As one of our fastest
growing lifestyle brands, Radisson RED offers an attractive value proposition
for hotels in key urban locations like Auckland, making the brand a great fit
for owners and partners looking for a pragmatic, yet differentiated and
innovative solution to their real estate,” said Elie Younes,
Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel
Group.
"This is the perfect time to join forces with
Radisson Hotel Group to introduce Radisson RED to Auckland. The Radisson RED
brand is an ideal brand that diversifies our real estate portfolio, with a
strong commercial and operational value proposition with a distinct design
concept that helps guests immerse themselves into Queen Street’s thriving arts
district. With Radisson Hotel Group’s strong network of loyal guests, and wide
appeal to the modern-day traveller, we’re looking forward to opening the doors
of the property in 2025.” said Michael Chow, Co-founder and Director,
Stonewood Group.
Guests can choose from stylish Standard Rooms to
spacious two-bedroom suites, and enjoy access to an all-day dining restaurant,
a wellness facility as well as four function rooms for meetings and events. The
hotel forms an integral component of a mixed-use commercial development,
incorporating dining establishments including a rooftop specialty restaurant,
and retail outlets. With close access to Auckland’s key attractions, guests can
take a 10-minute walk to the Auckland waterfront which is surrounded by upscale
shops, restaurants and bars. Moreover, the hotel boasts proximity to popular
tourist attractions, including casinos, art galleries, parks, and
museums.
The new Radisson RED hotel in New Zealand marks the
latest expansion for the brand with nearly 80 hotels in operation and under
development including recent openings and signings in Berlin, Tbilisi,
Belgrade, Liverpool, Lagos, as well as upcoming openings in Phuket and Cebu.
