Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) has announced the signing of 10 new hotels across India in the second week of July, marking a significant expansion in seven states. This move spans six brands, including Radisson Blu and Park Inn by Radisson, and aligns with RHG's strategy to enhance its presence in India's business, leisure, and spiritual destinations.

India's burgeoning pilgrimage economy is a key focus, with new hotels in major temple towns such as Tirupati and Mathura Vrindavan. These locations aim to meet the high demand from religious tourism, traditionally served by unorganised providers. In Bengaluru, RHG is strengthening its foothold with new properties like Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Bengaluru, catering to corporate and leisure travellers.

The group's leisure and resort offerings are also expanding, with new signings in Rajasthan and Gujarat, targeting areas with growing demand for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) and leisure travel. Additionally, RHG is entering India's wildlife tourism market with its first internationally branded hotel near the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra.

Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director & COO, South Asia, highlighted the strategic approach, stating, "These 10 signings reflect a deliberate strategy: layering our upscale brands into high-barrier gateway markets whilst using asset-light, franchise-led models to scale quickly into underserved tier-2 and tier-3 cities."

Davashish Srivastava, Vice President - Development, South Asia, noted the diversity of the portfolio, which includes greenfield developments and conversion opportunities. This expansion underscores RHG's commitment to offering tailored solutions and accelerating high-quality growth across India. With over 225 hotels in operation and development, RHG remains a leading player in India's hospitality sector
