The Radisson Group has announced plans to open 20 new hotels over the next three years in key Saudi cities.
The upcoming locations include Makkah and Jeddah as part of its big expansion strategy for the Kingdom, offering a total of 1,600 rooms. These will be added to the 24 hotels, resorts and hotel units currently being operated by the group in the Kingdom.
Other hotels scheduled to be launched include the Radisson Blu Hotel at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Mansard Hotel in Riyadh and the Radisson Collection Hotel, the second hotel for the luxury brand “Radisson Collection” in Riyadh, it stated.
Announcing this yesterday, Radisson Group CEO Federico Gonzalez said it aims to boost its investment portfolio in the Kingdom to around 50 per cent of its total investments in the Middle East by 2026.
The group is set to open a regional office in Riyadh this year to support plans to double its operational portfolio by adding more hotels in various regions, corresponding to its five-year plan to create more job opportunities.
“The commitment of Radisson Hotel Group to developing new hotels in Saudi Arabia and opening a regional office in Riyadh is an effective contribution to enhance the steps taken by the kingdom to achieve its goal of receiving 100 million visits by 2030,” he stated.
