Radisson Hotel Group, the hospitality franchise group operating in 120 countries and currently with over 1,700 hotels in operation and under development, has announced the signing of seven new hotels, adding over 1,400 rooms to its African portfolio.

Radisson said the latest signings are in furtherance of its ambitious growth in Africa. The new hotels expand the Group’s brands, spanning from upscale to premium luxury lifestyle with a new market entry in Gambia and the introduction of new brands in key markets with the first Radisson Collection in Nigeria and Egypt, the first Radisson RED hotel in Nigeria, and the introduction of the Radisson brand in Kenya.
 
The Group said it plans to further strengthen its robust African presence this year beyond the new signings, with at least seven hotel openings and over 1,400 rooms. These openings will include the Group’s first hotel openings in Reunion Island and Ghana and expanding its resort presence in Casablanca and Saidia in Morocco as well as in South Africa, Egypt, and Tunisia.
 
“Thanks to the relevance of our brands and trust of our owners, we have a successful growth momentum in Africa thus far, this year,” said Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group. “With the continent remaining a focus market for us, we are committed to further contribute to the African hospitality industry, providing more possibilities to our guests and employment opportunities to the local communities.”

The new hotel signings include Radisson Collection Resort, Marsa Alam Port Phoenice, which is scheduled to open in early 2025. The resort, which introduces Egypt to the Group’s premium lifestyle brand, Radisson Collection, will be situated on the Red Sea waterfront community. The Radisson Collection Hotel & Conference Centre, in Maitama District, Abuja, is a new-build, 249 room hotel and will further expand the Group’s Radisson Collection portfolio in Nigeria as the country’s third Radisson Collection hotel.
