Radisson Hotel Group
Radisson Hospitality Belgium SRL/BV, trading as Radisson Hotel Group (RHG), is an international hospitality company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
Radisson Hotel Group is one of two successor companies to the former global hotel group of the same name, which was split in 2022. The Brussels-based entity owns and operates hotel brands in Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The other entity, Radisson Hotels Americas, which includes the portfolio of hotels in North, Central, and South America, was acquired by Choice Hotels and now operates as a separate company under the Choice Hotels umbrella.
The company originated as the hotel division of Carlson Companies. In 2016, Carlson sold the group to Chinese conglomerate HNA Group. In 2018, HNA Group resold Radisson to a consortium led by Jin Jiang International, a Chinese state-owned hospitality company.
Curt Carlson, founder of the namesake company, bought the Radisson Hotel in downtown Minneapolis in 1962. Over the next few decades, the hotel division of Carlson expanded into one of the world's largest hotel corporations. In addition to Radisson Hotels, the division owned several other brands, such as Park Inn, Park Plaza (acquired in 2000), and Country Inns & Suites (founded by Carlson in 1986).
In 1994, the division expanded into the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) market by signing a franchise agreement with SAS Group's SAS International Hotels (SIH). This agreement led to the creation of the co-brand Radisson SAS, which was rebranded as Radisson Blu in 2009. The European partner, which eventually became the Rezidor Hotel Group, grew significantly and became a publicly listed company in 2006. Carlson became the parent company of Rezidor in 2010.
From January 2012, the combined global operations were marketed as the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. The group introduced new brands, including Quorvus Collection and Radisson Red, in 2014.
In April 2016, Carlson Companies sold the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group to HNA Tourism Group, a division of the Chinese conglomerate HNA Group.
In 2018, the group was rebranded to its current name, Radisson Hotel Group. Later that year, HNA Group sold the company to Aplite Holdings AB, a consortium led by the Chinese state-owned company Jin Jiang International.
