Radisson Hotel Group announced the launch of the group’s newest brand, Radisson Individuals, in Egypt with the opening of Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals.

This brings the group’s portfolio in Egypt to eight hotels in operation and under development, and the first Radisson Individuals in Africa.

Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals, is set along the desert coastline of the Red Sea, next to Port Ghalib’s palm-tree-lined promenade and popular yacht-docking harbor, with direct beach access and its own water park.

Port Ghalib is located in Marsa Alam on the southern Red Sea coral coast of Egypt, 67 kilometers south of Quseir City.

Each of the 159 hotel rooms and suites has a balcony overlooking the pool or the marina.

Tim Cordon, area senior vice president, Middle East and Africa at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We are pleased to welcome our first Radisson Individuals hotel to Egypt and open the doors to our fourth hotel in the country. Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals perfectly complements our existing portfolio and is a great representation of the new Radisson Individuals brand in the market.”

Ramsay Rankoussi, vice president, business development, Africa & Turkey at Radisson Hotel Group said: “We are delighted to announce Radisson Hotel Group’s further expansion in Egypt with the signing and opening of our first Radisson Individuals in the country as part of a conversion strategy. The hotel will benefit from Radisson Hotel Group’s global network and capitalize on the group’s strong presence in the country and in all relevant source markets. The opening is also aligned with our growth strategy across Africa and our focus on expanding our presence in Egypt, a key market for us across the continent.”
