The announcement coincides with a 10-year partnership extension being agreed by Radisson Hotel Group and Edwardian Hotels London, which owns and operates The May Fair Hotel and 11 Radisson Blu Edwardian properties.
This now takes Edwardian Hotels London's Master Franchise through to 2063.
The two companies said their longstanding relationship has strengthened under the new ownership by Jin Jiang International Holdings Co.
Federico J. Gonzalez-Tejera, president & CEO of Radisson Hospitality AB and chairman of the Radisson Hotel Group Global Steering Committee, said: We are immensely proud to welcome an iconic hotel like The May Fair Hotel into the Radisson Collection family and we are thrilled to have an in-principle agreement on a further extension of our strategic partnership with Edwardian Hotels London for an additional 10 years taking us through to 2063.
We created Radisson Collection with the ambition to bring our guests a unique global collection of hotels that offer an exceptional experience of effortless, contemporary living - while making sure each property reflects the individual character of its location.
In this respect, The May Fair Hotel could not be a better fit.
In the midst of all that’s new. That’s where you’ll find us. The destination for culinary greats and cool bars, the latest events and emerging artists. Immerse yourself in the very best of creativity and culture, from one extraordinary location to another.
Radisson Collection is a new generation of iconic properties and one-of-a-kinds. A collection of exceptional hotels, where no two are ever the same – here, individuality is our strongest common thread.
Natural centers of attention – across our global destinations, the members of our collection are always found in unique and inspiring addresses.
Local icons in their own right, each is an invitation to immerse oneself in the best a location can offer. To join the social and cultural epicenter of their city. To become part of the scene, caught up in the energy of like-minded spirits or the spark of new conversation
A collection of true exceptions, our membership is not about a common style or the meeting of tastes.
Rather – united by superlative property and service standards, an affinity for great interior design, deep connections with their destinations and a curated selection of local experiences – each of our members share in the same vision. To provide the ultimate template for contemporary living.
Marking a brilliant debut for Radisson Hotels, Radisson Collection is the newest star in our firmament. It completes a portfolio of eight distinguished brands, created and managed by one of the industry’s fastest growing and most innovative hotel companies.
Radisson Hotels thrives on 80 years of combined hospitality experience. Today, that experience empowers a network of 1,440 hotels (in operation and under development) and 95,000 talented employees, across 115 countries and territories.
Visionary and ambitious, together we have grown to become the tenth largest hotel group globally, and the fifth largest in Europe, the Middle East & Africa.
As our business ascends, we maintain a singular drive and focus: to deliver unsurpassed hospitality experiences to our guests that in turn foster the outstanding opportunities that we provide to our partners and investors.
It’s a vital synergy in which our brands play a considered role – ensuring the greatest possible relevance to the exacting needs of today’s global traveller, and the breath and depth of market presence to deliver dynamic growth.
We focus on the areas of responsibility that impact our business and society. We care about the issues that matter the most to our stakeholders.
From employee culture, and matters of diversity and equal opportunity; to environmental sustainability, advancement of society, and the strength of our shareholder returns.
We live by the beliefs of our award winning program, Responsible Business, which embodies our genuine commitment to minimize our impact on the environment; take care of the health and safety of guests and employees; and respect the social and ethical issues present within the company and the communities in which we operate.

Radisson Collection is the platform dedicated to our finest hotels and is the name behind our most exceptional guest experience.
Especially developed for owners with the vision and ambition to establish a unique name in their marketplace, Radisson Collection was created to elevate those hotels within our portfolio which merit iconic status in their own right.
To do justice to those rare assets served best by a more bespoke approach to hotel management.
To this portfolio of exceptional hotels, we will add the most desirable new-build and conversion projects on a global scale.
We seek properties with character, stature, and stand out appeal – plus the A-list address that our guests desire. Superlative product standards must include destination bars and restaurants; cutting-edge wellness and fitness facilities; and extensive public and social spaces.
All with a distinctive architecture and design aesthetic – considered and coherent through every finish, every flourish.
We want each of our hotels to become a vital part of the local fabric – a natural center of attention. So it’s vital that prospective properties have appeal to locals as well as guests. Only in this way, we believe, will we achieve an authentic and iconic position within each of our markets.
