Radisson Plans Up to 160 Hotels and 19,500 Keys in India by End of 2026

Radisson Hotel Group plans to expand its India portfolio to 157-160 operational hotels with 19,000-19,500 keys by December 2026, aiming for 500 hotels by 2030. Currently operating 142 hotels with 17,000 keys, the group expects to add 18 hotels and 2,000-2,500 keys this year. While some metro cities experienced a 27-28% decline in revenue per available room in March due to the West Asia crisis, tier-2 and tier-3 cities showed resilience, with April trends crucial for recovery assessment.
