Radisson Hotel Group has reached a milestone of 100 hotels in operation and development in Africa following a year of accelerated growth.
It comes as the group signed more than 15 new hotels and approximately 2,500 rooms over the last 12 months. This period included entries into the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe.
The expansion is part of a 2030 growth ambition. Priority growth markets for the group remain Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria. In Nigeria, the firm now has 13 hotels in operation or under development, including three properties in Abuja.
The South African strategy focuses on Cape Town and secondary cities such as Durban and Pretoria. The group is also seeking opportunities in Zanzibar, Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia to address leisure demand.
Radisson added more than 15 hotels to its portfolio through conversions over the past five years. These accounted for nearly 3,000 rooms.
New signings in the Democratic Republic of Congo include the 110-room Radisson Blu Hotel in Kinshasa, scheduled to open in late 2026. Three additional properties are planned for Lubumbashi between 2027 and 2030.
The group will enter Zimbabwe with a 147-key serviced apartment project in Harare by late 2028 and a 150-room Park Inn by Radisson resort at Victoria Falls in 2029.
In Egypt, the 469-room Radisson Resort Ain Sokhna Groove is expected to open in 2029. This will be followed by serviced apartments in Sheikh Zayed City in 2030.
Moroccan developments include a conference-focused hotel in Casablanca and a dual-component project in Rabat. A resort featuring 80 bungalows is planned for Marrakech in 2028.
Ramsay Rankoussi, regional chief development officer at Radisson, said: “We’ve crossed the 100-hotel mark in Africa by staying true to our plan, focusing on where we can lead, moving fast on quality conversions, and partnering with owners who share our ambition.
“The next phase is about depth in Morocco and Nigeria, a smarter footprint in South Africa, and a stronger resort offering that matches where travelers want to go. Our pipeline is built to open, not just to announce.”
