Radisson Hotel Group, the go-to-market name for Radisson Hospitality Inc and Radisson Hospitality AB, is one of the world’s largest hotel groups. It’s behind major brands like Radisson Collection, Radisson Blu, Park Plaza and Radisson, and has more than 1,400 properties in operation and under development across 120 countries.

We’re forever running stories about this multinational hospitality company here on TOPHOTELNEWS, covering everything from the latest hotel openings and board-level reshuffles to data-driven features investigating how its development pipeline is shaping up. This year, of course, it’s impossible to ignore the impact that Covid19 has had on industry giants like Radisson too, so we’ve penned a number of articles examining this subject in detail. And rest assured, we’ll keep producing exclusive editorial on all this and more in 2021.
