Radisson Hotel Group Announces Plans For Rejuvenating Radisson Brand In The Americas

Radisson Hotel Group™, announced at its Americas Business Conference in Orlando, FL the new visual identity, product design and guest experience pillars for the Radisson^® brand in the Americas. As part of the conference, the company revealed its new model room designs for Radisson. The comprehensive overhaul includes a new design aesthetic, tagline, updated logo, service icon, color palette and overall brand experience that will affect the more than 160 Radisson hotels currently in operation and under development in the Americas. This initiative anticipates the removal of 10 to 15 percent of non-compliant hotels in the current Radisson hotel brand portfolio to improve consistency and guest service. To help support the brand’s franchisees, a loan program will be available to help those qualifying to upgrade their hotel to the updated design.

The new Radisson hotel brand identity is part of the Radisson Hotel Group’s strategic five-year operating plan that includes investments in its portfolio and repositioning of more than 500 hotels globally, as well as expansion of the Radisson brand into Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The company has already begun to see development traction in the U.S. with its announcement of a signing for a 320-room new-build Radisson hotel in Midtown of New York City with developer McSam Hotel Group.

“Great brands have very similar consistency and quality gaps between their best property and worst property and this strategic initiative will help us reshape the portfolio,” said Ken Greene, President, Americas, Radisson Hotel Group. “We have terrific owners coupled with an amazing service culture that brings a lot of passion to this brand and we are committed to building our organization with a powerful value proposition that focuses on branding, revenue, cost, flexibility and simplifying the way we transact.”

At the heart of the new Radisson brand is natural balance and harmony of the Scandinavian way of life. The new design aesthetic focuses on streamlined yet comfortable natural designs that are accessible for all and encourage a balanced environment. Radisson hotels focus on creating experiences that center around social spaces, food and drink, guest rooms, meetings and wellness.

The new tagline for the brand, “Simply Delightful”, complements the design aesthetic and brings together two key aspects of the new brand proposition – tasteful simplicity with touches that create lasting, memorable experiences.

Currently the 11^th largest hotel group in the world, Radisson is part of the Radisson Hotel Group, made up of eight hotel brands with more than 1,400 hotels in operation and under development. The launch of the new identity is a significant milestone in a strategic five-year operating plan to transform its business, position itself as competitive for the future and become the preferred choice among guests, owners, investors and talent.
