Federico J. González, Executive Vice Chairman of Radisson Hotel Group, stated, “With a spectacular location, the introduction of our lifestyle luxury Radisson Collection brand in Madrid will accelerate the development of Radisson Hotel Group in Spain, where we currently operate 8 hotels. This landmark project is under development, and other upcoming announcements showcase our commitment to growth.

This will be an iconic hotel in Madrid and a sought-after destination for local and international guests.”
