Radisson Blu

Radisson Blu is a luxury hotel franchise that provides lodging services to the public. The Radisson Blu brand was conceived in 1968 by Pierre and Jean-Georges Kerkhofs as an upscale European hotel chain with locations primarily in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. In 1989, Radisson Hotels acquired the rights to operate under the Radisson Blu name from the Kerkhof family. The company has more than 1,400 hotels worldwide across 54 countries on six continents with a total of 3,800 rooms available for rent.

The Radisson Blu franchise offers a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new hospitality brand. The company is entering into a phase of rapid growth and expansion, which will include opening up to 100 hotels over the next five years. This represents a rare opportunity for someone with entrepreneurial spirit who wants to build their own business from scratch. With Radisson Blu you can create your own niche market by building your hotel in an area that has not yet been served by this type of upscale lodging establishment. You can also benefit from the support provided by our national marketing campaigns and world-class training programs designed specifically for franchisees like yourself. Our goal is to help you succeed!
