Serbia: Developer, owner and operator PPHE Hotel Group will debut its first Radisson RED hotel in Serbia under the group’s extended partnership with Radisson Hotel Group.
Located in Belgrade, the hotel will be operated by PPHE’s Croatian subsidiary Arena Hospitality Group. The property is currently branded as the Arena 88 Rooms Hotel and will undergo a refurbishment, set to relaunch as Radisson RED later this year.
Design studio Atellior will lead the redesign. When complete, the hotel will feature a red Zastava 750 car in the lobby.
Amenties will include an all-day restaurant on the ground floor, a top floor coworking space, flexible events space including game areas, and a rooftop bar.
Boris Ivesha, president and CEO of PPHE Hotel Group, said: “We are delighted to announce the debut of our first Radisson RED branded hotel which will open later this year in Belgrade, Serbia. This builds further on our successful 20-year partnership with Radisson Hotel Group, which is founded on trust, collaboration and joint value creation.
“We are excited about the future of our property portfolio through this enhanced partnership and our entrepreneurial approach to value creation that is possible through our unique business model. We look forward to continuing to unlock a range of exciting opportunities for long-term growth while exciting an ever-growing number of guests around the world.”
Elie Younes, EVP and global chief development officer at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “With the signing of Radisson RED Belgrade, we expand the presence of Radisson RED in Southeast Europe and take yet another significant step in our strategy of bringing this vibrant brand to travellers around the world. This is our second hotel under our extended partnership with PPHE Hotel Group and their Croatian subsidiary Arena Hospitality Group, following the launch of Grand Hotel Brioni Pula, a Radisson Collection Hotel, in May 2022.”
