Radisson Hotel Group announces the expansion of its presence in the UK with the creation of Radisson RED Twickenham. Situated at Twickenham Stadium. The hotel is set to open in 2024, with a full rebrand to Radisson RED in 2025.

Twickenham Stadium is one of the world’s largest rugby stadiums and the home of England Rugby. Located in West London, the iconic venue hosts numerous international rugby matches, concerts, and other events throughout the year. Radisson RED Twickenham will undergo a full refurbishment, with the renovation of all the bedrooms and public spaces, to incorporate the unique and distinctive vibrant design, familiar with the Radisson RED brand.

The hotel will accommodate 150 spacious bedrooms along with a large lobby and lounge bar, creating a stylish, welcoming social environment for residents in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames and a perfect meeting place for visitors to the stadium. The hotel will be home to a new destination restaurant, serving up a delicious dining experience for the local community. The cutting-edge design of the Radisson RED brand will be prominent throughout, making a bold statement with its signature look.

There are extensive conference and events facilities on offer at Twickenham Stadium, with flexible space for conferences, exhibitions, and celebrations. Guests will also benefit from access to the adjacent health club, including a swimming pool, climbing wall, gym with multiple studios and a kid’s creche.

The areas of Twickenham and Richmond are popular with business travellers and tourists alike. Richmond Park, Bushy Park, The Royal Botanic Kew Gardens, and Hampton Court Palace attract millions of visitors to the area each year. Richmond is also the location for filming the Emmy Award-winning TV series Ted Lasso. Additionally, there are several multinational blue-chip corporate offices and business parks in the vicinity. Twickenham is also home to several universities, including St Mary’s University and The University of Roehampton.

Radisson RED Twickenham is perfectly placed at Twickenham Stadium, with an excellent infrastructure and accessibility into London city centre via road and rail. For international visitors, Heathrow Airport, one of the world’s busiest airports, is less than 30 minutes away by car.

Adela Cristea, Vice President, Business Development UK, Ireland & Nordics at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We are thrilled to work with the Rugby Football Union on this hugely exciting project at this world class stadium. Our Radisson RED presence is ever growing in the UK, and London Twickenham is the ideal location for further expansion. We are looking forward to introducing the vibrancy of our upbeat Radisson RED brand to the local community.”

Mark Lynch, Executive Director of Venue at the RFU said: “This is the start of a strong working relationship between the RFU and Radisson. The plans in place are exciting and we can’t wait for future guests to experience what the hotel has to offer. I’d like to thank Radisson for their seamless help in getting to this point and look forward to working with them closely.”

In the interim, the property will be affiliated to the RHG systems as a Radisson Individuals Hotel.
