There are some excellent Radisson properties located outside of the U.S. that make great accommodations for trips abroad. Travelers will find several different types of properties, from design-focused brands like Radisson Red to full-service brands like Radisson Blu and its upscale Radisson Collection.

Radisson is also expanding quickly, adding hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in particular. By 2030, the loyalty program plans to have at least 55 hotels from its portfolio within Morocco and South Africa alone.

Keep in mind that these international Radisson properties are part of the Radisson Rewards program, which is separate from the Choice Privileges program. Choice Privileges is the loyalty program of the Radisson properties in the Americas. To redeem points for award stays at Radissons in Europe, Asia and Africa, you'll need to collect Radisson Rewards points.

Here are some of the newest Radisson hotel openings outside the Americas that are worth checking out.
