Carlson Rezidor Signs Radisson Red Hotel in Guangzhou, China

Carlson Rezidor has signed a management agreement for Radisson Red hotel in Guangzhou, China.

Owned by Guangzhou ROFO Real Estate Development, the new-build Radisson Red Guangzhou South Station hotel is the second Radisson Red for Carlson Rezidor in China and its fifth in Asia Pacific.

The Radisson Red Guangzhou South Station is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2018, and brings Carlson Rezidor’s Asia Pacific pipeline to 91 hotels.

The 160-key hotel is located in the new Central Business District of Panyu district, across from Guangzhou South Railway Station, which is the largest high-speed rail station in South China.

In addition to being a major transportation hub that connects Guangzhou to Beijing, Hong Kong, Wuhan, Changsha, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, Guangzhou South Railway Station is part of the upcoming Guangzhou South Railway Station New Town, which has a focus on the trade, creative, logistics and finance industries.

Radisson Red Guangzhou South Station is also served by major expressways and is about 40 kilometers from Guangzhou International Airport.

The hotel is also less than 2 kilometers from a new 80,000-seat stadium, one of China’s most popular football clubs.

The Radisson Red Guangzhou South Station is part of a mixed-use development, Union Plaza, which will also include office space and a mall.

The hotel will feature a sky lobby and an infinity pool.

“Radisson Red provides owners and developers a product that we believe will be a leader in the lifestyle segment. The brand appeals to guests who have an ageless millennial mindset, and truly redefines the guest experience,” said Thorsten Kirschke, president, Asia Pacific, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. “Red is bold, alive and design-driven while being creative in its functional use.”

Radisson Red Guangzhou South Station is the fifth signing for the brand in Asia Pacific and 10th signing globally.

Carlson Rezidor plans to open 60 Radisson Red hotels globally by 2020.
