More recently in 2021, the part of the chain that managed the Americas (Canada, United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America) split off. This is a Chinese state-owned hospitality company which is one part of what has pushed them to be the second largest hotel chain in the world. Without going all the way to the beginning and all the various acquisitions and changes of ownership, the latest news is that in August 2018, Radisson Hotel Group was sold to a consortium including Jin Jiang International from the previous Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. The story of Radisson isn’t as straightforward as you might think which might explain some peculiarities of their website. They are often well-placed properties that are trendy yet simple hotels that have a presence worldwide but is nowhere near as dominant as the big players such as Hilton and Marriott.
Radisson is a hotel chain that many of us know about.
