Radisson Hotel Group has signed first Radisson Red hotel in Germany with developer Gerchgroup. The new Radisson Red Cologne will be located in a central city location, just a stone’s throw from the UNESCO World Heritage-recognised Cologne Cathedral.

The development will integrate well into the Laurenz Carré, a modern urban district that also features office and retail spaces. An existing, listed hotel property is being redesigned and supplemented with a new building for the lifestyle brand of the hotel chain.

The property will boast a total of 262 guest rooms. Elie Younes, chief development officer of Radisson Hotel Group announced: “Radisson Red is a very relevant brand for owners and guests. It perfectly fits the market in Cologne and will add a further vibe to its social scene.”

Scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2023, the lifestyle branded hotel will offer guests all the conveniences to travel in comfort. Both buildings will have an exciting restaurant and bar concept, a fitness studio and a creative 300 square meter meeting and event area.
