The global hotel operator said it has signed three new properties across key Philippine destinations, reinforcing its expansion pipeline in both gateway cities and emerging regional hubs.
The big picture
The Philippines has become one of Radisson’s most important growth engines in the region, driven by sustained tourism recovery, infrastructure upgrades, and rising investor appetite for branded hotel developments.
“Fifteen years on from our first opening in Cebu, the Philippines remains one of our strongest growth engines in Southeast Asia-Pacific,” Christine Angela Sevilla, senior director of Radisson Hotel Group, Development Southeast Asia-Pacific, said in a press statement.
“The momentum we’re seeing across Cebu, Clark, Metro Manila, Bohol, and key regional destinations reflects the strength of our partnerships and our confidence in the country’s long-term tourism potential. We’re focused on growing responsibly, elevating guest experiences, developing talent, and supporting destinations in a way that creates lasting value for owners and communities.”
By the numbers
Radisson currently operates seven hotels in the Philippines, with 18 properties under development.
New signings include Radisson Hotel and Serviced Apartments Clark, Philippines, slated to open in 2027 with 252 rooms. Located about seven kilometers from Clark International Airport, the property is positioned to capture demand from both business and leisure travelers in Central Luzon.
In Metro Manila, Park Inn by Radisson Fairview, Philippines will open in 2028 with 151 rooms in Quezon City’s Fairview district. In Northern Luzon, Park Inn by Radisson Laoag, Philippines is also set to open in 2028 with 151 rooms, expanding the Group’s footprint in Ilocos Norte.

Lifestyle and resort-led growth are central to Radisson’s strategy.
Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue is scheduled to open in early 2026, marking the brand’s Philippine debut. The Group has also broken ground on Radisson RED Resort Cebu Mactan, expanding its lifestyle portfolio in Cebu.
Meanwhile, LIME Resort Bohol, a member of Radisson Individuals Premier, recently signed and opened as the brand’s first Radisson Individuals Premier property in Southeast Asia-Pacific.
What’s next
Radisson said it will continue pursuing disciplined growth across city centers, gateways, and high-potential secondary locations, with conversions playing a key role in accelerating market entry.
The Group is also investing in talent development and sustainability initiatives, including energy efficiency, responsible sourcing, and waste reduction, as it works toward its Net Zero 2050 target — positioning the Philippines as a cornerstone of its long-term regional strategy. —Vanessa Hidalgo | Ed: Corrie S.
