Radisson Red to open in Ras Al...

Second UAE property on Marjan Island will have 280 keys

The UAE will welcome its second Radisson Red hotel in 2027 with the lifestyle brand opening on Ras Al Khaimah’s Marjan Island.

The first franchised Radisson Red in the country was announced by boutique advisory firm Stirling Hospitality Advisors who will oversee the development of the AED215 million (US$59 million) project.

The hotel will have 280 keys and four F&B outlets. There will also be a swimming pool, gym, spa, MICE facilities and private beach area.

When opened, the hotel will be close to the upcoming Wynn casino and resort on Marjan Island.

The fourth Radisson Red property in the region, joining those in Dubai, Riyadh and Amman, it will have a different design, eschewing the brand’s trademark industrial chic for a softer resort style with muted tones.

SSH International Consultants will lead on the design, with Stirling acting as owner representative on behalf of BB Holding, a business group with notable ventures in Armenia, making its UAE debut with this project.

“We are excited to collaborate with BB Holding, Radisson and SSH International Consultants on this exceptional lifestyle project,” said Tatiana Veller, Managing Director of Stirling Hospitality Advisors.

“This venture will set a new benchmark for design and guest experiences in Ras Al Khaimah, and we are proud to be part of bringing this vision to life.”

Elie Milky, Vice President Development – Middle East, Greece, Cyprus and Pakistan at Radisson Hotel Group, added that “launching in such a vibrant location on Marjan Island with Radisson Red’s refreshed design concept will allow guests to enjoy the diverse offerings of the emirate”.

The hotel aims to attract a younger crowd, especially Millennial and Gen Z travellers seeking contemporary hospitality experiences.

With headquarters in Ras Al Khaimah, Stirling Hospitality asset-manages more than 3,500 hotel rooms in three countries and has a hotel and resort portfolio valued at US$1.25 billion.
