Radisson Hotel Group is accelerating its growth in France with a series of high-profile signings and openings. Supported by strong partnerships with leading real estate groups like Covivio and Byron Capital, the Group is reshaping its presence in key destinations through targeted conversions, spanning from luxury lifestyle to upscale segments.

Over 65% of our owners globally have more than one hotel with us, thanks to their trust, the relevance of our brands and the loyalty of our guests. France is a strategic growth market for Radisson Hotel Group, where we aim to significantly expand our footprint. From historic conversions in cultural landmarks to contemporary icons in high-traffic gateways, our expansion is supported by long-term and strategic partnerships. The pace of our growth reflects the confidence of our owners in our brands and people. Elie Younes, Global Chief Development Officer & Executive Vice President, Radisson Hotel Group

Four recent signings bring the Group’s French portfolio to 34 hotels in operation and under development, solidifying its position as a leading international operator with both global scale and strong local market expertise.

Banke Opera Paris, A Radisson Collection Hotel, opening in Q3 2026, will strengthen the presence of the Radisson Collection brand in Paris. The building, dating back to 1907, served as a bank until its initial hotel conversion in 2009. Located on rue de La Fayette, steps from the iconic Galeries Lafayette and Opéra Garnier, the hotel offers a prime address for both leisure guests and business travelers. Recently acquired by a leading Spanish family office, the 90-room hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation, showcasing a contemporary interpretation of Parisian elegance. The property features a striking Belle Époque façade and classical architectural details, including a renowned Gustave Eiffel-designed staircase. Guests will be welcomed into a 19th-century atrium that will house a reception, bar and restaurant. Additional amenities will include a state-of-the-art gym and wellness facilities in the bank’s former vault room, as well as a relevant meeting and events offering.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Paris Roissy CDG Airport, is scheduled to open at the end of 2025, reinforcing Radisson Blu’s presence at one of Europe’s busiest travel hubs. Ideally situated directly in front of Terminal 3 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and adjacent to the Roissy Val train station, the hotel will offer guests easy connections to all terminals. The 305-room property, including 20 junior suites and 5 suites, will undergo an upgrade in 2026, alongside a renovation of its reception area and restaurant-bar, enhancing the guest arrival experience and dining offering. With 1,500m² of meeting facilities, the hotel will serve as an ideal venue for business events and corporate gatherings. Additionally, guests will be able to enjoy a terrace and comprehensive wellness amenities, including a modern fitness centre, sauna, hammam and indoor swimming pool.

This signing highlights the Group’s strategic partnership with Covivio, reflecting a shared commitment to delivering real estate value and high-quality hospitality in prime, high-demand locations.

With the addition of the two hotels mentioned above, the Group’s footprint in Île-de-France will expand to 11 hotels and approximately 1,700 rooms in operation and under development.

Radisson Resort Cannes will bring the Group’s fastest-growing upscale brand to one of France’s most glamorous destinations on the Cote d’Azur. Ideally situated on the beachfront in Cannes La Bocca, just a 10-minute drive from La Croisette and the Palais des Festivals, the property offers an exceptional setting for both leisure travelers and event attendees.

The 100-room hotel, recently acquired by Byron Gestion, a hotel asset management company, will undergo a comprehensive renovation ahead of its planned opening under the Radisson brand in 2026. Conceived as an urban resort, the hotel offers direct beach access, an outdoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and breathtaking sea views from most rooms, many of which feature private balconies.

Hôtel Beaux Arts Bourges, a Member of Radisson Individuals, set to open in 2027, is located in the historic district of Bourges. The 52-room hotel is situated near the main city square, providing guests with a charming base from which to explore the old town. With Bourges recently named the European Capital of Culture for 2028, the hotel is ideally positioned to capitalize on the growing tourism to the region.

The Group’s expansion in France is also supported by a strong pipeline of upcoming openings across both urban and resort destinations:

These openings follow the successful debut of Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel, which marked the luxury lifestyle brand’s entry into the French market. A former 14th-century mansion tucked into the historic Vieux Lyon district, the property has been artfully reimagined into a luxury hotel that fuses old-world charm with contemporary sophistication, setting a high bar for future openings across the country. The Group also recently opened Radisson Blu Hotel, Montpellier, bringing elevated comfort to one of southern France’s most vibrant cities, and Le Relais de la Malmaison, a member of Radisson Individuals, a serene retreat just outside Paris known for its character and charm.
