Radisson plans hotels expansion
21 January 2000
Radisson Hotels Worldwide has unveiled plans to add up to 65 hotels over the next year.
Half the new hotels will be in Europe, almost half in North Africa and the rest in Asia.
Radisson Edwardian, the privately-owned London group of hotels that has a marketing agreement with Radisson Worldwide, plans to expand outside the capital, adding two hotels each year through management contracts.
Managing director David Batts confirmed that the group has signed a deal with property company Targetfollow to convert former council offices in the Baskerville House building in Birmingham city centre to a 200-bedroom hotel, due to open towards the end of 2002.
Radisson has 400 hotels in 53 countries.
