Radisson Hotel Group boosts French portfolio with new openings
Radisson Hotel Group is set to enhance its presence in France with a series of strategic hotel signings and launches.
This expansion will see the group’s portfolio in France grow to 34 hotels, both operational and in development, across different market segments such as upscale and luxury lifestyle.
Radisson Hotel Group global chief development officer and executive vice-president Elie Younes said: “France is a strategic growth market for Radisson Hotel Group, where we aim to significantly expand our footprint.”
Four signings took place recently in the country. Banke Opera Paris, a Radisson Collection hotel, is set to open in the third quarter next year.
A former bank, the property is located near the Galeries Lafayette and Opéra Garnier, offering a prime location for both business and leisure travellers.
The 90-room hotel, now owned by a Spanish family office, will undergo a significant renovation to reflect a modern Parisian experience.
It features a Belle Époque façade, a Gustave Eiffel-designed staircase, and a 19th-century atrium with a reception, bar, and restaurant.
Guests will also have access to a gym and wellness facilities located in the former bank vault, as well as meeting and event spaces.
Scheduled to open at the end of this year, Paris Roissy CDG Airport will further Radisson Blu’s footprint.
Positioned in front of Terminal 3 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and next to the Roissy Val train station, the 305-room hotel will be upgraded in 2026.
The refurbishment will include the reception area and restaurant-bar, with 1,500m² of meeting facilities.
These additions will expand the group’s presence in the Île-de-France region to 11 hotels with around 1,700 rooms.
Radisson Resort Cannes is set to introduce the group’s upscale brand to the Côte d’Azur, featuring 100 rooms with direct beach access and an outdoor swimming pool.
Byron Gestion recently acquired this property, and it is set for a renovation before opening under the Radisson brand next year.
The 52-room Hôtel Beaux Arts Bourges, a member of Radisson Individuals, is anticipated to launch in 2027 in Bourges, near the main city square.
Supporting the expansion, Radisson Hotel Group has a pipeline of upcoming launches, including Hotel & Spa Amoria La Baule and Maison Rivoli Paris, both Radisson Collection Hotels, and Radisson Blu Hotel, Triangle Paris, all set to open between late 2025 and early 2027.
The launch of Cour des Loges Lyon in June marked the entry of the group’s luxury lifestyle brand into the French market.
