The midscale lifestyle brand Prize by Radisson, part of the Radisson Hotel Group, continues its international expansion with the announcement of its first hotel in the UK, located in Glasgow.
This project marks an important new milestone in the brand’s growth, already well-established across Europe, and strengthens Radisson Group’s position in the region.
The new property will be situated in close proximity to the city’s major event venues, such as the SEC and OVO Hydro, in a dynamic, rapidly growing area. The hotel will also be located next to the Radisson Red Glasgow, within a building owned by Forrest Hotels Ltd., a key player in the real estate market in the UK, which is investing in the renovation and expansion of the entire building.
“We are excited to announce the opening of this hotel, in collaboration with the Radisson Hotel Group. This innovative concept will bring a new dynamic to Glasgow. We are heavily investing in transforming the building into a modern hotel, with sleek design and a unique atmosphere. We have already submitted the building permit application, with the goal of opening the hotel in time for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.” – Donald Stewart, Forrest Hotels Ltd.
The Prize by Radisson in Glasgow will have 163 rooms and will feature a bar and a social space with all-day dining options.
Ambitious Expansion Goal in the UK and Ireland
Currently, the Prize by Radisson portfolio includes more than 20 hotels in operation or under development across Europe, with properties in Antwerp, Hamburg, and Vienna. The Glasgow hotel opening will add a new member to Radisson Hotel Group’s growing portfolio, which now counts over 70 hotels in operation or under development in the UK and Ireland.
“With our new positioning as Prize by Radisson and our flexible contractual solutions, we continue to expand our international presence. This new hotel in Glasgow, along with the one already planned for Dublin, strengthens our presence in this strategic region of the UK and Ireland.” – Connor Ryterski, Managing Director of Prize by Radisson
