With three new hires in the eastern part of India, the global hotel chain Radisson Hotel Group, which operates in more than 95 countries, has increased its footprint in the country.

With a total key count of 400, the new hires include the Radisson Resort and Spa, Ranchi in Jharkhand, the Hotel Deoghar in Jharkhand, and the Radisson RED Puri in Odisha, according to the group.

This follows the hotel group's announcement that five additional hotels would open in the first half of 2025. As of 2024, the group had 130 hotels operating. These new properties were introduced in Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), Gaj (Punjab), Koti (Shimla), Yelahanka (Bengaluru), and Jamshedpur (Jharkhand).

"With the growing momentum of spiritual, cultural and medical tourism in India, Radisson Hotel Group is focused on staying ahead of the curve by offering world-class luxury and upscale hospitality across cities,” said Nikhil Sharma, managing director and chief operating officer (COO), South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.

“With over 13 properties in East India (five operational, eight in the pipeline), this three-hotel signing deal is a strong testament to our commitment to expanding in high-potential markets across the country.”

 

“This signing in the East India region reflects our continued focus on unlocking value in high-potential micro-markets that are witnessing strong demand across spiritual, leisure and business travel segments,” said Davashish Srivastava, senior director, development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.

“Deoghar, Puri and Ranchi each present a distinct opportunity — from being deeply rooted in religious and leisure tourism circuits to evolving into emerging economic and wellness hubs. Through a brand-right approach by offering three distinctive brands — Radisson, Radisson Blu and Radisson RED — and trusted local partnerships, we aim to build a diverse and future-ready portfolio that meets the needs of today’s discerning travellers while accelerating our growth in East India.”
