Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) has significantly accelerated its expansion strategy in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) with the simultaneous announcement of two new hotel launches in the key cities of Lucknow and Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad). This dual launch underscores the Group’s commitment to strengthening its footprint in India’s most populous state, targeting both major urban centers and emerging economic and pilgrimage destinations.
The new property in Lucknow, the capital of U.P., is strategically positioned to capture demand from the city’s burgeoning business, government, and cultural sectors. As a major metropolitan area, Lucknow serves as a critical commercial hub, making it an attractive location for RHG to deploy its full-service hospitality offerings.
The second launch in Prayagraj taps into the city’s historical significance as a major pilgrimage and education center, especially given its location at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers. By establishing a presence here, RHG aims to cater to both religious tourists and the increasing flow of domestic and corporate travelers visiting the region.
These new hotels are part of Radisson Hotel Group’s focused efforts to increase its operational presence in India, particularly in Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities that offer high growth potential. The expansion reflects a confidence in the state’s rising infrastructure development and economic momentum, which are collectively boosting the demand for international-standard hospitality services across Uttar Pradesh.
