Carlson Rezidor will build its first turnkey Radisson Red hotel in Glasgow.
The Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow will be located adjacent to Scotland’s largest exhibition centre, will feature 176 rooms and will welcome its first guests in 2017. It joins existing Carlson Rezidor properties in Glasgow: the Radisson Blu and a Park Inn by Radisson in the city.
“Following the recent Carlson Rezidor signings of Radisson Red hotels in Asia (Shenyang Hunan; China) and Africa (Cape Town; South Africa), we are proud to announce the first new-build property in Europe. Glasgow is one of the strongest markets in the UK, and Radisson Red will add a vibrant new concept to the city’s hospitality sector. Inspired by the millennial lifestyle trends, the brand addresses the highly connected and design savvy world traveller,” said Wolfgang M. Neumann, president & CEO of Rezidor.
“The Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow will be a flagship and strengthen the brand’s strategic roll-out in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and across the globe. Set for ambitious growth in urban locations, Radisson Red targets 60+ hotels worldwide by the year 2020,” added Elie Younes, executive vice president & chief development officer of Rezidor.
The site of the Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow is in the city’s West End, 300m from the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) that includes the Clyde Auditorium for 3,000 guests and the Hydro concert arena with 12,500 seats. The International Financial Services District, the Glasgow Science Centre and the Glasgow Media Centre are in close proximity to the hotel. The city centre and international airport are 2km and 10km away, respectively.
Besides offering 176 guest rooms, the Radisson Red will comprise a “Redeli” restaurant and a “Oui” bar; a gallery; more than 100sqm of meeting space; a gym; and 78 parking spaces.
The Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow will be operated by Rezidor Hotel Group.
