The Radisson Collection Hotel in Berlin had its grand opening at the start of the year. In the center of the bustling Mitte neighborhood, this brand-new lifestyle luxury landmark is situated adjacent to famous landmarks like the Berlin Cathedral and Museumsinsel. Known as “the new icon of Berlin,” it provides both leisure and business tourists with an unforgettable experience. Since the incident in December 2022, the facility has undergone renovations, and its foyer now features a magnificent “Living Tree.”
This opening is followed by the signing of a Radisson RED Hotel in Berlin and a Radisson property in Krefeld. The new hotel in Krefeld will be part of a newly built mixed-use development, while the RED Hotel in Berlin is currently undergoing extensive modernization prior to its opening in late 2026. Later this year, a Prize by Radisson hotel in Osnabrück will open its doors, along with two new Radisson properties.
“Next to these additions, we further also just announced the signing of three new Radisson Individuals hotels, adding an additional 314 rooms to our German portfolio, and confirming our commitment to Germany as a strategic and key focus market for Radisson Hotel Group”, added Elie Younes.
The expansion of the Radisson Hotel Group in Europe has been characterized by openings and signings around the continent. Four new properties, including the first-ever Radisson Individuals and Prize by Radisson hotels in the Nordic region, were recently signed in Norway. There will be 519 hotel rooms close to Bergen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, when the hotels open later this year.
In the United Kingdom, Radisson Hotel Group announced the new Medlock Hotel, to be opened in late 2026 on the world-famous entertainment destination Etihad Campus, home of Manchester City Football Club.
