Radisson Collection debuts in the City of Palaces
With a strategic vision to expand its luxury footprint across culturally significant and high-potential destinations, Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of Radisson Collection Hotel, Mysore, marking the debut of its luxury lifestyle brand in the “City of Palaces.” This signing underscores the Group’s focus on deepening its presence in Karnataka. Radisson Collection represents the Group’s curated luxury portfolio of iconic properties, with the operational Radisson Collection, Hotel and Spa, Riverfront Srinagar, and a strong pipeline that includes Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Jaipur, and Radisson Collection Hotel, Navi Mumbai International Airport.
Strategic location to capture leisure, corporate, and MICE demand
Strategically located at the intersection of Mysore Ring Road and Bengaluru–Mysore Road, the hotel enjoys excellent visibility and connectivity across the city’s key arterial routes. Situated near Mysore’s major tourist attractions, the property is well-positioned to capture robust leisure demand, particularly driven by weekend and holiday travel from Bengaluru and other key cities, while also catering to corporate, MICE, and social segments.
A flagship luxury destination with strong event infrastructure
The Radisson Collection Hotel, Mysore will feature 175 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, signature dining destinations, and versatile meeting and event space. With its expansive banqueting and outdoor venues, the hotel is poised to become a preferred destination for corporate offsites, conferences, luxury weddings, and social celebrations. True to the Radisson Collection ethos, the hotel will blend refined contemporary design with Mysore’s rich cultural legacy, offering immersive experiences rooted in local character and global luxury standards.
Business-led expansion into a high-potential market
“Mysore represents a compelling growth opportunity for us — combining strong leisure fundamentals with an established weddings market and increasing corporate activity—yet remains underpenetrated in the luxury segment. The signing of Radisson Collection Hotel, Mysore, allows us to re-enter the city with a flagship luxury product aligned to evolving demand patterns. This development strengthens our South India portfolio and supports our broader strategy of deploying Radisson Collection in destinations that demonstrate long-term demand depth, strong rate potential, and relevance across leisure, MICE, and social segments,” said Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
Strengthening luxury presence in South India
The upcoming hotel is expected to cater to a diverse mix of guests across leisure, weddings, and MICE segments, leveraging Mysore’s strong tourism fundamentals alongside the city’s manufacturing base and traditional industries such as silk production and sandalwood. The project represents a prime opportunity to introduce a flagship Radisson Collection property in South India, further strengthening the Group’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio.
“This signing is a significant step in strengthening our luxury presence in South India and reflects our strategy to introduce Radisson Collection in culturally rich yet underpenetrated markets. Mysore’s heritage appeal, strong weekend demand, and large-scale social and MICE potential make it an ideal destination for a flagship Radisson Collection hotel. We look forward to developing a landmark property that combines the brand’s global standards with the city’s timeless cultural identity,” said Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
Capitalising on Mysore’s demand for upscale experiences
“Partnering with Radisson Hotel Group to bring Radisson Collection to Mysore is a defining moment for us and for the city’s luxury hospitality landscape. Mysore’s global recognition as a heritage destination, combined with its evolving demand for upscale experiences, makes it the ideal setting for a Radisson Collection hotel. Our vision is to create a landmark destination that celebrates the city’s royal legacy while offering contemporary luxury, world-class service, and exceptional spaces for weddings, events, and leisure travelers. We are confident this hotel will redefine luxury hospitality in Mysore and become a preferred address for discerning guests,” said KN Zubair Ahmed, Founder and Chairman, Zed Group.
