Radisson Collection Makes a Landmark Entry in Maharashtra With New Navi Mumbai Airport Hotel

Navi Mumbai is fast becoming the next big hospitality hub—and the latest signing by Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) confirms it. The Group has officially announced a 350-key Radisson Collection Hotel near the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), marking the brand’s first-ever appearance in Maharashtra and one of its most significant luxury commitments in Western India.

This development is more than a new hotel announcement—it is a strategic move that aligns with Navi Mumbai’s transformation into a global business, aviation, and lifestyle destination.

A Strategic Signing at the Right Time

With NMIA inching closer to its operational phase, hospitality brands are racing to secure prime positions in the surrounding districts. Radisson’s latest signing positions the brand ahead of this growth curve.

Across all announcements, RHG leadership consistently highlighted two factors driving this project:

• The upcoming international airport

• Rapid commercial expansion in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR)

Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director & COO, South Asia, articulated the Group’s vision stating that the new hotel will not only cater to rising demand for transit and corporate stays but also set a new benchmark for premium hospitality in Navi Mumbai.

A Luxury Lifestyle Property Designed for the Modern Traveller

Set to open between 2028 and Q1 2030 (depending on source timelines), the hotel will feature:

• 350 rooms and suites

• Specialty dining venues

• Rooftop bars

• A signature world-class spa

• Advanced wellness and fitness facilities

• Large-capacity ballroom and MICE spaces perfect for weddings and conventions

The hotel will be built on the Radisson Collection ethos—authentic luxury, timeless design, and high-touch service standards, customized for the dynamic character of Mumbai.

Strong Partnership and Expansion Strategy

The project reinforces Radisson Hotel Group’s ongoing collaboration with Hill Crest Hotels & Resorts Pvt. Ltd.—the partnership that previously delivered the Radisson Blu Plaza Resort & Convention Centre in Karjat.

For Hill Crest, this signing is an opportunity to help shape Navi Mumbai’s luxury landscape. The leadership acknowledged their shared commitment with RHG to build a destination hotel that blends global brand excellence with the city’s modern energy.

Why This Signing is Significant for Western India

Each announcement underscores one shared theme: this is not just another hotel—it’s a flagship development.

The property will:

• Strengthen Radisson’s luxury footprint in Western India

• Contribute to MMR’s emerging hospitality ecosystem

• Leverage NMIA to attract global and domestic travellers

• Support the region’s rising MICE, wedding, and premium leisure market

Industry experts expect Navi Mumbai’s new airport to unlock a tourism and business wave similar to how Hyderabad’s and Bengaluru’s aviation expansions transformed their hospitality landscapes.

Summary of Highlights

A Transformative Chapter for Navi Mumbai

With infrastructure such as NMIA, metro connectivity, corporate hubs, and high-end residential developments progressing rapidly, Navi Mumbai is poised to is a power center—not a satellite city.

The arrival of Radisson Collection signals the beginning of a luxury hospitality shift—one that aligns Navi Mumbai with global aviation cities such as Singapore, Dubai, and Doha.

As construction begins and timelines progress, all eyes will be on this property—one expected to be among the most premium hospitality offerings in India’s western corridor.
