Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown will feature 221 rooms, including four deluxe rooms and five suites. A lively all-day dining restaurant and bar will anchor the social scene. An additional rooftop bar with a large terrace will take in golden-hour mountain views. Two flexible meeting rooms will support intimate events and creative sessions, and a modern gym will round out the essentials.

The hotel is situated a seven-minute walk from the centre of Queenstown, within an emerging precinct that is adding new retail, a supermarket, and dining concepts tailored for a modern tourism market. Guests will look out toward Coronet Peak, the surrounding ranges, and Lake Wakatipu, with the location set to benefit from plans to evolve the adjoining recreation reserve into a community park that serves residents and visitors. Coronet Peak's ski lift is a fifteen-minute drive from the site, keeping winter access easy and summer trailheads close.

Queenstown is New Zealand's four-season adventure capital, with skiing at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, lakefront trails and biking, and easy access to the Gibbston Valley wineries, all wrapped in a lively dining and arts scene. Queenstown Airport lies 16 minutes from the site with direct services from Australia's major east-coast gateways and frequent domestic links.

The developer of the project is Redwood Group, which has developed numerous successful projects across the Queenstown region.

Nearly one booking out of two is generated by Radisson Hotel Group's commercial engine. The Club by RHG is a global revenue community that supports 340+ hotels, bringing market expertise and practical models that uncover new business. Pulse by RHG gives teams live, cross-source performance insight to steer pricing and mix. On the cost side, EMMA, the Group's centralized cloud platform, integrates key hotel systems, while Radisson Operations powered by Hotelkit, EMMA Material Management, and partners such as Kitchen Cut help reduce waste, standardize workflows, and protect margins.

Radisson Rewards now counts more than 25 million members across EMEA and APAC, Members access benefits from day one, can blend cash and points flexibly, and planners and bookers earn on professional and personal travel. The program's ease of use helps shift share into the Group's direct channels and into partner hotels across the region.

Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown follows the Group's upcoming opening in Auckland, extending the Radisson RED brand across two of New Zealand's most compelling leisure and urban destinations. Across Asia Pacific, Radisson Hotel Group is advancing a balanced growth strategy, scaling premium, lifestyle, and midscale brands in gateway cities, resort markets, and high-potential secondary hubs. Momentum is already building with the recent opening of Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton and the opening of Radisson Blu Mirage Resort Fiji, scheduled for 2027. A strong pipeline of additional signings and openings planned from 2026 to 2028 will further strengthen the Group's footprint across the region.
