The city is experiencing rapid growth in international connectivity and urban development, making it a strategic priority for Radisson Hotel Group’s expansion in the region. Following the successful launch of Sadu Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals in 2025, and the signing of Radisson Hotel & Residences Almaty, the Group continues its strategic expansion in one of Central Asia’s fastest-growing urban markets. 

 

“This hotel represents a significant milestone in our expansion strategy for Kazakhstan,” said David Jenkins, Vice President Business Development at Radisson Hotel Group. “We see strong demand for branded upscale hospitality near Almaty Airport, and this new Radisson Blu will set a new benchmark for comfort and convenience in the area. From business travelers to airline crews, we look forward to welcoming guests to an exceptional Radisson Blu experience.”

The interiors have been carefully designed to reflect Radisson Blu’s signature Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, featuring clean lines, natural materials, and a focus on functional elegance – achieving a seamless balance between visual appeal and operational practicality. 

 

Strategic value in a high-growth location 

The hotel is strategically positioned to capitalize on Almaty’s accelerating airport traffic, which reached 12.5 million passengers in 2025, alongside a steady rise in foreign arrivals. With limited branded competition in the immediate airport vicinity, the new Radisson Blu is uniquely placed to serve a diverse clientele – including government delegations, airline personnel, and corporate travelers. 

 

Set to become a premium destination for layovers and business engagements, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Almaty Airport reflects Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to delivering world-class hospitality in key gateway locations across Central Asia.
