Radisson Hotel Group reports strong results while advancing its growth strategy in Saudi Arabia.

Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand in Saudi Arabia, with 50 hotels open and under development across the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia is now one of the Group’s top five global markets and one of its largest development opportunities in the Middle East.

The Group maintained strong development momentum in Saudi Arabia year-to-date through 2025 and 2026, signing over 1,500 keys. This continued growth reflects sustained owner confidence in the Kingdom, as well as strong demand across key Saudi cities driven by business travel, religious tourism, extended stays, and destination development.

Recent openings have added more than 1,200 keys to the Group’s Saudi portfolio across Riyadh, Jeddah and Madinah. These include Radisson Collection Residences, Riyadh, Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh Al Sahafa, Radisson Hotel & Residence Riyadh Olaya, Radisson Blu Hotel and Convention Centre, Riyadh Minhal, Radisson Hotel Jeddah Tahlia, and Radisson Hotel Madinah, to name a few. This momentum is set to continue in the second half of 2026, with Radisson Hotel Group expecting to open almost 1,000 additional keys in the Kingdom across key Saudi destinations.

The openings reflect the breadth of demand in the Kingdom. In Riyadh, the Group is expanding across serviced residences, corporate hotels, extended-stay products and meetings-led assets including the recent signing of AMSA VUE, a Member of Radisson Individuals. In Jeddah, Radisson Hotel Jeddah Tahlia strengthens the Group’s presence in one of the city’s main commercial districts. In Madinah, Radisson Hotel Madinah adds capacity in a market supported by religious tourism, infrastructure investment and growing demand for internationally branded accommodation.

Radisson Hotel Group is also progressing its pipeline in Madinah through an agreement with Knowledge Economic City to develop a new Park Inn by Radisson Hotel and serviced apartments. The project will add 733 keys, including a 587-key hotel and 146 serviced apartments, supporting demand for midscale and longer-stay accommodation in one of the Kingdom’s most important religious destinations.

Elie Milky, Regional Chief Development Officer, Middle East, Northeast Africa, Greece & Cyprus, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Saudi Arabia is one of our top five markets globally and one of the strongest growth opportunities for Radisson Hotel Group. Our focus is on growing in cities and destinations where we see clear long-term demand. The opportunity is broad, from business travel, religious tourism and meetings to serviced apartments, extended stays and midscale development. We are focused on the right brands, the right partners and assets that are built to perform.”

Saudi Arabia remains central to Radisson Hotel Group’s regional development strategy, with demand driven by corporate travel, religious tourism, major events, infrastructure development and mixed-use projects. The Group continues to evaluate opportunities across Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and secondary cities, supported by its ambition to reach 100 hotels in operation and under development in Saudi Arabia by 2030.
