Hotel group Carlson Rezidor has announced plans to launch its lifestyle select brand Radisson RED in Dubai.
Located in Dubai’s Silicon Oasis, the 171-room Radisson RED Dubai Silicon Oasis is expected to open in the third quarter of 2018, the company said in a statement.
“Dubai has always been an important destination for our growth, and its continued development opens up new opportunities for our expansion. Our total portfolio in Dubai currently stands at 13 hotels with more than 2,600 rooms, and we are excited to introduce our first Radisson RED to the city,” said Elie Younes, executive vice president and chief development officer of Rezidor.
“Furthermore, it is even a greater privilege to see the brand being launched in partnership with the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, a Government entity of Dubai, further committed to grow the city as a regional business hub with a focus on innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.”
The Radisson RED Dubai Silicon Oasis will feature signature dining outlets, an outdoor terrace and a number of reading rooms.
The global Radisson RED portfolio features 12 hotels under development, with the first hotel making its debut in April in Brussels, Belgium.
“We are pleased to welcome Rezidor to Dubai Silicon Oasis and to be the inaugural footstep for the Radisson RED brand in Dubai. Silicon Park is set to become the first smart city project to take shape within Dubai Silicon Oasis, and we are confident that its technological advancements will create great synergies with the Radisson RED concept and its focus on technology,” added Dr Mohammed Alzarooni, vice chairman and CEO of Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority.
