Carlson Rezidor Signs First Four Radisson Red Hotels in Americas

Carlson Rezidor has signed the first four Radisson Red hotels in the Americas: Radisson Red Bogota, Colombia; Radisson Red Cali, Colombia; Radisson Red Campinas, Brazil; and the Radisson Red Minneapolis Downtown.

Carlson Rezidor plans to open 60 Radisson Red hotels globally by 2020. The other locations currently under development include Brussels, Belgium; Capetown, South Africa; Glasgow, UK and Shenyang Hunnan, China.

“Red has already garnered strong interest and development momentum in Asia Pacific and in Europe, so we are very excited to announce our first hotels in the Americas,” said Javier Rosenberg, chief operating officer, Americas, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. “For us, we see opportunity for Radisson Red in a segment we have termed ‘lifestyle select’ that strives to create a uniquely engaging, personalized guest experience.”

Upon arrival at a Radisson Red hotel, guests enter a gallery where locally-inspired art is incorporated into the overall design. And instead of typical meetings facilities, there is an event studio for meetings and gatherings.

Complimentary internet access, a Carlson Rezidor standard, is available to all guests.

Food and beverage outlets at Radisson Red include Ouibar and the 24-hour Redeli, which will feature customized menus to cater to local tastes. Guests also have the option of dining in the restaurant or taking something back to their room.
