Radisson RED is built on a vision of social connectivity and creative expression. Co-working hot desks, private pods, and inviting communal areas give guests space to work, collaborate, or just vibe. Rooftop parties pulse with music and energy, offering stunning views of Patong Beach’s legendary sunset. And with the hotel’s exclusive Radio RED 91.5 & 102.5 FM station broadcasting global beats and local happenings, guests are always tuned into what’s hot.

Stacey Walton, Vice President of Destination Hospitality Management, underscored the hotel’s cultural potential: “We see this property as a new creative nerve center for Patong. It’s a place where music, fashion, food, and art intersect—an epicenter for both travelers and locals.”
Gary Murray, CEO and Owner of Destination Hospitality Management, added, “Our mission is to bring together the iconic vibrancy of Phuket with the international dynamism of the Radisson RED brand. This is more than hospitality—it’s a movement.”
Radisson RED A Brand Built for the Bold
Launched as a lifestyle-driven offshoot of the Radisson Hotel Group, Radisson RED challenges the conventions of traditional hospitality with a free-spirited approach focused on self-expression, inclusivity, and community.
Targeted at millennial and Gen Z travelers—though appealing to anyone who values creativity over conformity—Radisson RED properties blend art, tech, and social culture into every guest interaction. There are no stiff lobby check-ins here. Instead, expect friendly, informal service, design-forward public spaces, in-room tech, and a strong emphasis on music, events, and local engagement.
What sets RED apart is its ability to adapt to local culture while maintaining its signature edge. Each hotel, while recognizably RED, is also infused with the DNA of its location—whether in Brussels, Cape Town, Portland, or now, Phuket.
Tim Cordon, COO for the Middle East, Africa & Southeast Asia Pacific, summed it up best: “The opening of Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach is a major milestone for us and for the RED brand. This hotel captures everything RED stands for—boldness, energy, creativity—while embracing the unique soul of Phuket. We’re proud to offer a hotel that’s as unforgettable as the destination itself.”
Setting a New Standard for Lifestyle Hotels in Thailand
With Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach, Thailand’s tourism industry takes a step into the future. The hotel’s daring design, immersive guest experiences, and emphasis on community and creativity mark a shift in what travelers are seeking—and what hotels must deliver. As travel continues to evolve beyond sightseeing into full-on storytelling, properties like this are leading the way.
Radisson RED isn’t just launching a hotel—it’s launching a movement in Thailand’s most iconic beach town. For those looking to connect, express, and truly experience the culture of a place, there may be no better destination.
