Radisson Hotel Group strengthens its commitment to Australasia with the signing of the Radisson RED in downtown Sydney

Radisson Hotel Group is pleased to announce the signing of Radisson RED Sydney Haymarket, a 328-room, new-build lifestyle hotel set to open in 2029. Located in the vibrant southern end of Sydney’s Central Business District, the hotel will bring Radisson RED’s bold, playful, and social approach to hospitality to one of Australia’s most dynamic urban precincts. 

The 31-story hotel will be positioned in the heart of Haymarket, within close proximity to Central Station, Sydney Light Rail’s Haymarket station, Chinatown, Darling Harbor, the International Convention Center, leading universities, and Sydney’s emerging Tech Central precinct. 

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Global Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, comments: “The signing of Australia’s first Radisson RED marks an important milestone in our Australasia expansion plan. Radisson RED is a distinctive brand that offers a relevant and impactful proposition to both guests and owners. We are excited to partner with Ceerose on this project and are grateful for their trust in our brands and people.” 

Designed as an upper-upscale lifestyle hotel, Radisson RED Sydney Haymarket will feature 328 rooms, a restaurant, a lobby café-bar, a pool bar, meeting rooms totaling 218 square meters, an outdoor swimming pool, and a fitness center. The hotel will also include a dedicated early- and late-check-out lounge for guests, offering additional comfort and flexibility for international and domestic travelers. 

The property’s location, just 200 meters from Central Station and 6.3 kilometers from Sydney Airport, provides strong connectivity across the city and beyond. Its position at the gateway to the CBD also puts guests within walking distance of Sydney’s key commercial, cultural, educational, and entertainment destinations. 

The new-built tower is set to become a prominent addition to Sydney’s southern skyline, overlooking the heritage of Grand Clock Tower and benefiting from strong visibility across surrounding residential and commercial areas. 

Edward Doueihi, Founder and Managing Director of Ceerose, comments: “Radisson RED Sydney Haymarket has been conceived as a destination that reflects the energy and transformation taking place across this part of Sydney. Its location at the gateway to the CBD, close to Central Station, Tech Central, and some of the city’s most important visitor and business precincts, creates a compelling opportunity for a new lifestyle hotel. We are delighted to partner with Radisson Hotel Group to bring a distinctive, globally recognized brand to this landmark development.” 

Radisson RED is Radisson Hotel Group’s lifestyle brand designed for travelers who value bold design, social spaces, music, art, and a fresh approach to the hotel experience. The brand brings together informal service, flexible spaces, and a strong sense of place, creating hotels that are both functional and expressive. The signing of Radisson RED Sydney Haymarket further strengthens Radisson Hotel Group’s development momentum in Australasia, where the Group continues to expand through a targeted mix of lifestyle, upper-upscale, resort, and conversion opportunities in key urban and leisure destinations.
