Federico J.

We created Radisson Individuals in response to the evolving demands of the modern market. Joining Radisson Individuals is an ideal first step for individual hotels with strong service scores who wish to remain independent or may be considering transitioning to one of our successful core brands in the future. The new brand is also a strong proposition for local and regional hotel brands seeking to explore additional distribution channels and co-branding options."

Radisson Individuals represents an outstanding opportunity for hotels to enhance their visibility, nurture customer confidence, and access a wider audience through multiple distribution channels and a global sales structure. These hotels will benefit from the contracting power and economies of scale that come from a brand that is trusted by millions of guests across the world, as well integrated IT and revenue platforms, and comprehensive operational systems to deliver higher GOP margins.

Hotels wishing to join Radisson Individuals will undertake a compliance assessment focusing on four key parameters, SGS health and safety compliance, Online Index evaluated through their GRI, compliance with Fire & Life Safety and ability to connect to the Group’s main operating systems.
