Radisson Hotel Group - Strategic Expansion Targets Diverse Travel Segments
RADISSON HOTEL GROUP opened five hotels across India in the first half of 2025. The company is expanding its presence across locations and traveler segments, including corporate, spiritual and leisure demand.
RHG hotels are in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand; Yelahanka, Karnataka; Koti, Himachal Pradesh; Gaj, Punjab and Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The expansion reflects the company’s development strategy and understanding of India’s hospitality market, it said in a statement.
“Our expansion is a direct outcome of our adaptive development strategy and deep understanding of India’s dynamic hospitality landscape,” said Nikhil Sharma, RHG’s managing director and area senior vice president for South Asia. “From industrial cities like Jamshedpur to leisure and spiritual destinations like Koti and Prayagraj, we are committed to offering trusted hospitality experiences wherever our guests go. By leveraging our diverse brand portfolio and flexible conversion models, we aim to build strong local partnerships while delivering consistent experiences for business, leisure and spiritual travelers alike.”
Belgium-based RHG is the second-largest international hotel company in India after Marriott International, which has about 150 properties. Choice Hotels International owns Radisson brands in the Americas, including Park Plaza, Country Inn & Suites and Park Inn by Radisson.
