Radisson Hotel Group Sets Sights on 500 Hotels in India by 2030
Global hospitality major Radisson Hotel Group has put India at the center of its expansion strategy, unveiling an ambitious target of operating 500 hotels across the country by 2030. The group, which manages well-known brands such as Radisson Blu, Radisson, Radisson RED, and Park Inn by Radisson, already operates more than 140 hotels in India, with an additional 70 properties under development.
With this aggressive push, India will become Radisson’s second-largest market worldwide—after China—both in terms of portfolio size and long-term growth potential.
“There are very few countries where we have even 200 hotels. Is the 500-hotel goal ambitious? Yes. But when you think about the size, dynamism, and opportunity of India, it becomes very realistic,” said Federico J. González, Executive Vice President, Radisson Hotel Group, in an interview during his India visit this week.
González underscored that India is not just a growth market but also a “learning market” for the group. “The way business is shaping up in India is teaching us what we should do in other parts of the world,” he said, pointing to evolving consumer demand, rapid digital adoption, and the resilience of domestic travel as key drivers.
