    The Radisson Hotel Group has announced Auckland will be the first destination to open its new ‘playful’ Radisson RED offering.

    Located in the heart of Queen Street, the purpose-built 322-key Radisson RED Auckland will offer a modern lifestyle experience to its guests and add an eclectic ambience to Auckland.

    Radisson RED offers stylish spaces with standout designs where guests can feel inspired, engaged and connected to the heart of the destination while also being able to unwind and relax in the informal and inviting hotel environment.

    The hotel will feature both standard rooms and spacious two-bedroom suites, and enjoy access to an all-day dining restaurant, a wellness facility as well as four function rooms for meetings and events.

    “We are thrilled to establish our relationship with Stonewood Group and introduce New Zealand’s largest leased project with the 322-key Radisson RED Auckland,” MD Australasia, Radisson Hotel Group, Lachlan Hoswell, said.

    “With its distinctive design, vibrant atmosphere, and the versatility to effortlessly transition between work and play, Radisson RED is an ideal match for Auckland, New Zealand’s largest and most populous city.

    “Auckland is fast becoming one of New Zealand’s top tourist destinations renowned for its multiculturalism and culinary influences, making it an ideal and thriving market to launch the Radisson RED brand.”

    “With Radisson Hotel Group’s strong network of loyal guests, and wide appeal to the modern-day traveller, we’re looking forward to opening the doors of the property in 2025.”

    The new Radisson RED hotel in New Zealand marks the latest expansion for the brand with nearly 80 hotels in operation and under development including recent openings and signings in Berlin, Tbilisi, Belgrade, Liverpool, Lagos, as well as upcoming openings in Phuket and Cebu.
