Radisson Hotel Group has announced a number of key developments across Australasia including upcoming openings in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
Following a record year in 2024, with the addition of almost 40,000 keys globally, the group is set to open several hotels later this year and in 2026.
Full-scale construction has commenced on the development of Radisson Blu Mirage Resort Fiji, scheduled to open in 2026, with the project now funded by both the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) and BSP Financial Group (Fiji) Pte Limited (BSP).
Construction of New Zealand’s first Radisson Red in Auckland is well underway and is slated to open at the end of 2025.
Commenting on the build, Stonewood Group Director, Michael Chow, said, “We are excited by our partnership with the Radisson Hotel Group and when we open later this year, we will be bringing to the Auckland hotel market an exceptional lifestyle hotel.”
Another significant milestone in the Group’s expansion strategy is the debut of Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton in Australia – expected in Q2 2025. This “contemporary, fully connected hotel” will mark the upper-midscale brand’s entry into the Australian market.
“Australasia is one of our most potential markets, our upcoming developments confirm the trust our owners place in Radisson Hotel Group’s brands and the systems behind them,” said Radisson Hotel Group Executive Vice President & Global Chief Development Officer, Elie Younes.
“By pairing our award‑winning digital platforms with hands‑on operational know‑how, we unlock more opportunities for guests and deliver stronger returns for our partners.
“From Fiji to Melbourne and Auckland, we’re launching brands that are right for each destination and raise the bar for the market.”
The Group has also implemented best-in-class systems to maximise revenue across the hotels and continued to invest in operating systems, “resulting in the delivery of system contribution of 53% (+5 pp vs. 2023), driven by Radisson Rewards growth”.
Further investments have been made in “EMMA”, the Group’s global cloud-based technology platform, which integrates hotel systems such as CRM, Property Management, Sales & Catering, reservations, loyalty programs, and digital touchpoints.
Radisson Hotel Group said investment in its digital channels help advance personalisation in the guest experience.
“Our goal is to provide one-to-one personalisation experiences to increase customer satisfaction and ultimately increase the opportunities of conversion to increase our online business,” the company said.
The group is elevating the guest experience by harnessing advanced AI technologies such as AI-driven multilingual content translation and digital replicas of hotels, allowing guests to virtually explore rooms and facilities, with the aim of enhancing booking ease and satisfaction.
The group has also been a leader in adding several languages on its website and mobile app.
The Radisson Hotels App has surpassed 1.9 million annual downloads and has been recognised by Google as best in class. The app became the 5th most downloaded hospitality app in 2025.
Radisson Hotel Group’s commercial capabilities have been strengthened by The Club, an international revenue community operating in over 45 countries. The Club provides global expertise, local insights, and revenue management services to more than 300 hotels, significantly contributing to nearly half of the group’s bookings.
