The first Radisson Red in the United States opened in 2016 in Minneapolis, Minnesota [4] with a second U.S. location in Portland, Oregon (Radisson RED Portland Downtown; now operating as Hotel Vance, Portland, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel) in November 2018. [5] It continued its expansion with a hotel in Campinas, Brazil in August 2017, Cape Town, South Africa in September 2017, and Glasgow, United Kingdom on April 30, 2018 [6]

As of 2019, the brand has twenty three hotels either in operation or under development. [7]

Concept

Radisson Red is targeted to guests with an "ageless millenial mindset", incorporating more art, music and fashion into its services and offerings with a focus on communal spaces such as the bars and lobbies, digital customer service, and bold color interiors. [8] It has its own branded restaurant, called OUIBAR, [9] and is marketed more at millennials. [10] The brand's emphasis is on modern design, technology, and quick food service. [11]
