UNIBAIL-RODAMCO-WESTFIELD AND AXA IM ALTS ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF AN AGREEMENT WITH RADISSON HOTEL GROUP FOR THE TRIANGLE PROJECT

Radisson Blu will open a hotel in 2026 in the Triangle project, a new flagship Parisian destination

Designed by Herzog & de Meuron and developed by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and AXA IM Alts, acting on behalf of clients, The Triangle will participate in Paris' environmental transition thanks to a number of innovations: low-energy consumption, extensive use of renewable energy and a priority given to low-carbon mobility. On completion, the Triangle will comprise a hotel, a nursery, a health center, a cultural center, convenience stores, offices and coworking spaces, a viewing gallery, panoramic elevators, and a restaurant, open to all.

The future hotel will offer 128 rooms on six floors. Decorated by the interior design duo Dion & Arles, who have created warm and original atmospheres comprising multiple contrasts and inspirations, the hotel will become a new trendy spot in Paris with its sky bar and panoramic restaurant. Rooms will be available in a variety of categories and will offer balconies and spectacular views of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and the historic city center's most famous monuments.

Vincent Jean-Pierre, Managing Director, Offices France and Mixed-Use Projects Europe at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, comments: "The arrival of a player such as the Radisson Hotel Group, more than 2 years before the opening of The Triangle, is a strong signal that demonstrates the attractiveness of this iconic project, which will offer an unrivaled experience for tourists and Parisians. The Triangle will contribute to Paris’ influence, accompany its economic development, and participate in its environmental transition thanks to its energy efficiency."

Germain Aunidas, Global Head of Development, AXA IM Alts, adds: "The arrival of Radisson Hotel group comes at a key moment for the project, and reaffirms this development as an unmissable Parisian address. Radisson Blu will play a special role for Triangle users and will help the site’s occupiers and visitors to more intensely experience all the diversity that makes up Paris. These guests, alongside the future occupiers of the offices, will benefit from exceptional, interconnected spaces, offering a continuum of rich unprecedented experiences in Europe.”

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Development Director of Radisson Hotel Group, says: "We are grateful to strengthen our collaboration with URW and AXA IM Alts by introducing a flagship Radisson Blu hotel in the heart of Paris. We welcome the city's most iconic mixed-use development and architectural masterpiece to our family. With Radisson Blu being part of The Triangle, we continue our journey of redefining our European skyline as well as creating successful opportunities to our owners and exciting possibilities for our guests."
