Radisson collection unveils four EMEA luxury gems for 2026

EMEA – Radisson Hotel Group has announced four new Radisson Collection hotels to elevate its EMEA luxury portfolio.

This expansion aligns with the brand’s aggressive growth in high-velocity markets like Saudi Arabia, Italy, France, and Morocco, blending contemporary opulence with local heritage to meet surging demand for culturally immersive stays.

Kicking off Q1 2026, Radisson Collection Residence Riyadh debuts on King Fahad Road in Al Mutamarat District, 40 minutes from King Khalid Airport.

This Salmani-style architectural marvel offers 170 upscale units, including eight penthouses and four villas with skyline terraces.

Highlights span rooftop pools, fitness centers, wellness spas, Emily’s Brasserie for global fare, and Obi Urban Sushi’s Japanese-cocktail fusion. Designed for extended business and leisure, it marks Radisson’s third Riyadh luxury outpost, targeting Vision 2030’s 100 million visitors.

Late 2026 brings Radisson Collection Lincoln Casablanca, reviving Morocco’s 1916 Art Deco icon on Mohammed V Avenue near the Old Medina.

 Preserving historic elegance while injecting modern luxuries, it caters to cultural explorers and execs amid Morocco’s FIFA 2030 buildup.

Palazzo San Gottardo Lake Como opens Q1 2026 with 72 lakefront rooms and rooftop terraces fusing heritage architecture with panoramic vistas, Italy’s idyllic retreat for romantics and influencers.

Banke Opera Paris follows in H2 2026, transforming a Belle Époque ex-bank near Galeries Lafayette and Opéra Garnier into 90 sophisticated rooms, boasting a rumored Gustave Eiffel staircase for Paris’s discerning tastemakers.

These launches cap a banner 2025 with five new properties, pushing Radisson Collection toward 40 global sites.

Saudi Arabia eyes nearly 50 hotels, the Middle East 150 by 2030, riding ATM 2026’s $60 billion outbound spend forecast.

For QSR operators, F&B synergies beckon: Riyadh’s Emily’s lobby could host Subway footlong stations or Five Guys modules for MICE coffee breaks, capturing 20% incremental revenues mirroring Dubai’s AED 878 RevPAR peaks.

Casablanca’s medina proximity primes shawarma grab-and-go for heritage tours, while Lake Como rooftops crave Nando’s platters for wedding afterparties.

Hospitality investors project 10-12% yields from Radisson’s mid-luxury scale, outpacing pure-play icons amid UAE-Saudi pipelines.

Paris and Como tap ultra-luxury lounges like ATM’s, funneling GCC elites via Emirates Helsinki routes.

Morocco’s rail boom syncs with event spaces blending Taste of Heritage menus, modular sushi trays for FIFA previews.

Radisson’s fusion of timeless design and contemporary service positions these outposts as EMEA beacons, channeling rapid tourism evolution into enduring guest loyalty and operator prosperity.
