Carlson Rezidor has announced that Europe’s first new-build Radisson Red will be situated in Glasgow.
The property, which will be located adjacent to Scotland’s largest exhibition centre, will feature 176 rooms and will welcome its first guests in 2017.
It will comprise a stylish Redeli restaurant and a Oui bar, a gallery, more than 100sqm of meeting space, a gym, and 78 parking spaces.
The Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow will be operated by The Rezidor Hotel Group.

Wolfgang M. Neumann, President & CEO of Rezidor, said, “We are proud to announce the first new-build property in Europe. Glasgow is one of the strongest markets in the UK, and Radisson Red will add a vibrant new concept to the city’s hospitality sector. Inspired by the millennial lifestyle trends, the brand addresses the highly connected and design savvy world traveller.'
Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer of Rezidor, added, “The Radisson Red Hotel Glasgow will be a flagship and strengthen the brand’s strategic roll-out in Europe, the Middle East & Africa and across the globe. Set for ambitious growth in urban locations, Radisson Red targets 60+ hotels worldwide by the year 2020.'
