Radisson Hotel Group has announced that it has signed hotels in Deoghar, Puri and Ranchi in East India, bringing the total number of new rooms in India to 400.

With these properties, Radisson Hotel Group will offer the Radisson Blu, Radisson RED and Radisson Resort & Spa brands to the region to support spiritual, leisure and MICE travel. When it opens in Deoghar, Jharkhand, the first international Radisson Blu Hotel in the city will be found not far from the airport and AIIMS, providing views of the Tapovan and Trikuta Hills. The goal is to provide for pilgrims, wellness travellers and people organizing weddings or events.

In Puri, Odisha, when it opens, Radisson RED will be at New Marine Drive Road near Puri Beach to welcome spiritual and modern holiday visitors. The temple complex and city of Bhubaneswar located nearby make Puri between Sali and the beach a good choice for destination weddings and crowds of tourists at the Ratha Yatra.

“With the growing momentum of spiritual, cultural, and medical tourism in India, Radisson Hotel Group is focused on staying ahead of the curve by offering world-class luxury and upscale hospitality across cities. With over 13 (five operational, eight in pipeline) properties in East India, this three-hotel signing deal is a strong testament to our commitment to expanding in high-potential markets across the country. With strategic locations and tailored brand offerings, these hotels will further reinforce our presence in East India while delivering an exceptional experience to the guests,” said Nikhil Sharma, MD & COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.

“This signing reflects our continued focus on unlocking value in high-potential micro-markets that are witnessing strong demand across spiritual, leisure and business travel segments. Deoghar, Puri and Ranchi each present a distinct opportunity—from being deeply rooted in religious & leisure tourism circuits to evolving into emerging economic and wellness hubs. Through a brand-right approach by offering three distinctive brands, Radisson, Radisson Blu & Radisson RED, and trusted local partnerships, we aim to build a diverse and future-ready portfolio that meets the needs of today’s discerning travelers while accelerating our growth in East India,” said Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
