Radisson Hotel Group has announced the launch of Long Stays by Radisson Hotels, a new global proposition designed to capture growing demand for extended-stay travel, while strengthening the Group’s commercial offering for corporate partners.
Bringing together participating hotels with apartment units across the Group’s portfolio, the initiative introduces a more unified and seamless approach to long stays – ensuring consistency in service, comfort, and flexibility for guests, while supporting corporate partners with simplified access to extended-stay solutions. The offering introduces a structured yet flexible framework that makes long stay bookings easier to buy, manage, and experience.
Designed primarily for B2B partners – including relocation companies, travel management companies, and corporate travel buyers – the proposition enables access to dedicated long stay rates, standardized booking conditions, and aligned commission structures across participating hotels, removing the need to negotiate individual agreements.
At the same time, guests benefit from a tailored extended stay journey, including dedicated hotel contacts, personalized pre-arrival planning, and amenities designed specifically for longer stays. Importantly, the approach supports a seamless guest journey through both negotiated corporate agreements and long stay bookings, ensuring that travelers receive a consistent experience regardless of how their stay is sourced. By aligning commercial and operational elements, Radisson Hotel Group strengthens its ability to deliver on guest expectations across brands and markets.
The launch responds to changing travel patterns, with companies increasingly requiring flexible accommodation for international assignments, infrastructure projects, consulting engagements, healthcare placements and workforce mobility. As demand shifts beyond traditional transient travel, the Group is investing in solutions that enhance the guest journey, while helping partners secure higher-value bookings with greater efficiency.
“Long Stays by Radisson Hotels gives our partners a simpler and more competitive way to access this growing market,” said Gianni Di Fede, Chief Commercial Officer at Radisson Hotel Group. “By combining structured commercial terms with a consistent guest experience, we’re making it easier to win and service long-stay business at scale, while strengthening customer loyalty.”
Structured commercial model for long-stay business
At the core of the proposition is a dedicated commercial model featuring tiered pricing based on length of stay, with defined conditions and partner-friendly commission structures. This supports faster response times and greater transparency for booking agents and corporate clients. The offer reinforces its value through Radisson Rewards, where eligible bookers and planners benefit from an additional 20% points incentive on long stay bookings, strengthening loyalty and engagement within the segment.
The offer integrates with existing distribution channels, including GDS and corporate agreements, allowing partners to book through established procurement and travel management processes without additional complexity.
Delivering a consistent extended-stay experience
In addition to commercial enhancements, Long Stays by Radisson Hotels focuses on elevating the guest experience for longer stays. Participating hotels provide personalized pre-arrival planning, dedicated contacts, flexible housekeeping services, and in-room solutions designed for extended use.
![The signing ceremony took place in Kisumu, with Governor Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o representing the county government and UN-Habitat Executive Director in Kenya, Anaclaudia Rossbach, signing on behalf of the UN agency. Under the agreement, both parties commit to jointly implementing the housing upgrade project, which Governor Nyong’o said will primarily target vulnerable groups. “The PINUA programme [is] designed to benefit the most vulnerable members of the community,” Nyong’o said, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to fostering sustainable neighborhoods equipped with essential services. Beginning November 1, 2025, the county government, working with UN-Habitat, will launch pilot projects in Kibuye Estate and Muhoroni Sub-County, based on designs and models developed through extensive public participation. The programme will focus on upgrading informal settlements by providing essential social infrastructure such as schools, sanitation facilities, affordable rental housing, early childhood development centres, and public open spaces. It also supports incremental housing models, allowing families to progressively build and eventually own decent homes. Rossbach emphasized UN-Habitat’s global commitment to driving transformative change in urban areas: “This partnership is crucial in advancing our new strategy, which focuses on improving housing access and digitally transforming informal settlements for everyone.” According to UN-Habitat housing architect Fred Omenya, the pilot phase will begin in January 2026 with the construction of two blocks of 24 housing units in Kibuye Estate.](https://businessinsights.africa/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/About-us-still-25957706200_7ca2db7e5e_k-100x70.jpg "Kisumu, UN-Habitat sign Ksh2.7bn deal for social housing upgrade")
