The pace of our growth reflects the confidence of our owners in our brands and people.”

Four recent signings bring the Group’s French portfolio to 34 hotels in operation and under development, solidifying its position as a leading international operator with both global scale and strong local market expertise.

Banke Opera Paris, A Radisson Collection Hotel, opening in Q3 2026, will strengthen the presence of the Radisson Collection brand in Paris. The building, dating back to 1907, served as a bank until its initial hotel conversion in 2009. Located on rue de La Fayette, steps from the iconic Galeries Lafayette and Opéra Garnier, the hotel offers a prime address for both leisure guests and business travelers.

Recently acquired by a leading Spanish family office, the 90-room hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation, showcasing a contemporary interpretation of Parisian elegance. The property features a striking Belle Époque façade and classical architectural details, including a renowned Gustave Eiffel-designed staircase. Guests will be welcomed into a 19th-century atrium that will house a reception, bar and restaurant. Additional amenities will include a state-of-the-art gym and wellness facilities in the bank’s former vault room, as well as a relevant meeting and events offering.

The 305-room property, including 20 junior suites and 5 suites, will undergo an upgrade in 2026, alongside a renovation of its reception area and restaurant-bar, enhancing the guest arrival experience and dining offering. With 1,500m² of meeting facilities, the hotel will serve as an ideal venue for business events and corporate gatherings.
