Radisson Hotel Group signs Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown, New Zealand

2026-02-05 07:35 Last Updated At:07:55

BRUSSELS, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Radisson Hotel Group has signed the Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown, a new-built lifestyle hotel set to open in early 2028. The move amplifies the brand's footprint in New Zealand and follows the momentum of the upcoming Radisson RED Auckland opening.

Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown will feature 221 rooms, including four deluxe rooms and five suites. A lively all-day dining restaurant and bar will anchor the social scene. An additional rooftop bar with a large terrace will take in golden-hour mountain views. Two flexible meeting rooms will support intimate events and creative sessions, and a modern gym will round out the essentials.

The hotel is situated a seven-minute walk from the centre of Queenstown, within an emerging precinct that is adding new retail, a supermarket, and dining concepts tailored for a modern tourism market. Guests will look out toward Coronet Peak, the surrounding ranges, and Lake Wakatipu, with the location set to benefit from plans to evolve the adjoining recreation reserve into a community park that serves residents and visitors. Coronet Peak's ski lift is a fifteen-minute drive from the site, keeping winter access easy and summer trailheads close.

Queenstown is New Zealand's four-season adventure capital, with skiing at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, lakefront trails and biking, and easy access to the Gibbston Valley wineries, all wrapped in a lively dining and arts scene. Queenstown Airport lies 16 minutes from the site with direct services from Australia's major east-coast gateways and frequent domestic links.

The developer of the project is Redwood Group, which has developed numerous successful projects across the Queenstown region. Tony Gapes, owner of Redwood, said, "We're delighted to be partnering with Radisson Hotel Group to bring Radisson RED to Queenstown. The brand's energy, design-led style, and understated luxury feel perfectly matched to the spirit of the region. This is an exciting project for Queenstown, and we're proud to continue to deliver developments that add long-term value to the region."

"Australasia is primed for highperforming lifestyle hotels, and Queenstown is an ideal stage for Radisson RED," said Lachlan Hoswell, Managing Director, Australasia, Radisson Hotel Group. "Owners choose RED for its guest appeal and for the strength of our commercial engine. Nearly one in two bookings are generated by our system, and with The Club by Radisson Hotel Group, Pulse by RHG, and our EMMA technology platform, we convert revenue efficiently and control costs to drive stronger GOP. We're excited to work with local partners such as Tony Gapes at Redwood and Ash Hira at Bayleys, who was instrumental in facilitating this transaction, and look forward to collaborating with Bayleys and other partners on elevating the hotel offerings across New Zealand and Australia."

Nearly one booking out of two is generated by Radisson Hotel Group's commercial engine. The Club by RHG is a global revenue community that supports 340+ hotels, bringing market expertise and practical models that uncover new business. Pulse by RHG gives teams live, cross-source performance insight to steer pricing and mix. On the cost side, EMMA, the Group's centralized cloud platform, integrates key hotel systems, while Radisson Operations powered by Hotelkit, EMMA Material Management, and partners such as Kitchen Cut help reduce waste, standardize workflows, and protect margins.

Radisson Rewards now counts more than 25 million members across EMEA and APAC, Members access benefits from day one, can blend cash and points flexibly, and planners and bookers earn on professional and personal travel. The program's ease of use helps shift share into the Group's direct channels and into partner hotels across the region.

Radisson RED Hotel Queenstown follows the Group's upcoming opening in Auckland, extending the Radisson RED brand across two of New Zealand's most compelling leisure and urban destinations. Across Asia Pacific, Radisson Hotel Group is advancing a balanced growth strategy, scaling premium, lifestyle, and midscale brands in gateway cities, resort markets, and high-potential secondary hubs. Momentum is already building with the recent opening of Park Inn by Radisson Melbourne Carlton and the opening of Radisson Blu Mirage Resort Fiji, scheduled for 2027. A strong pipeline of additional signings and openings planned from 2026 to 2028 will further strengthen the Group's footprint across the region.

PANAMA CITY, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to growing demand for stable yields and efficient liquidity amidst market fluctuations, HTX is elevating its Earn product lineup by launching the new VIP Flexible product, tailored for high-net-worth individuals. To celebrate this launch, the platform offers up to 9% APY on USDT for the new users of the product. The latest upgrade also features limited-time yield boosts for LIT and TRUMP Flexible, providing a tiered, high-liquidity strategy to help global users navigate market volatility.

For more information: https://www.htx.com/support/105029158924744

Redefining Premium Yield Products: VIP Flexible USDT with Up to 9% APY

In today's global financial markets, identifying stable, high-yield liquidity tools has become a core priority for investors. HTX Earn's new VIP Flexible product sets a new industry benchmark.  Exclusively available to Prime 5 and above users, the inaugural USDT offering provides up to 9% APY, a rate that significantly outpaces the yields typically found in standard flexible products.

Returns are closely tied to users' Prime levels. The higher the level, the greater both the yield and the subscription quota. Compared to the sub-1% yields typically seen in competing flexible products, HTX ensures that its most active users receive a premium, high-liquidity passive income tool that maximizes every dollar of idle capital, through custom plans and exclusive subsidies.

From a product experience perspective, VIP Flexible offers the perfect synergy of high yield and total liquidity. Unlike traditional models, returns are calculated using an hourly compounding mechanism, ensuring that every dollar works harder for users around the clock. With no lock-up periods, both subscriptions and redemptions remain fully flexible. To further simplify wealth management, the "Auto-Subscribe" feature acts as a built-in optimizer for idle capital. When enabled, the system prioritizes allocations into VIP Flexible. Once individual caps are reached, any remaining funds are seamlessly transferred into standard Flexible products.

High-Yield Opportunities: LIT and TRUMP Promotions with Up to 12% APY

In addition to the custom offerings, HTX Earn has rolled out limited-time yield boosts for LIT and TRUMP, available to all users. Effective March 24 at 07:00 (UTC), the LIT Flexible product has undergone a major rate hike, with its APY increased to 12%. Simultaneously, spanning from March 17 at 09:00 (UTC) to April 17 at 16:00 (UTC), TRUMP yields have demonstrated a fourfold increase to  8%.

These promotions are designed with broad accessibility in mind, covering subscription ranges from 0 to 100 million LIT and from 0.1 up to nearly 200 million TRUMP, accommodating a wide spectrum of user portfolios. Participation is seamless. Users can subscribe and immediately benefit from boosted yields without complex requirements. Like other Flexible products, redemptions are available at any time, with interest accruing from the next hour and distributed on a compounding basis. For users holding LIT or TRUMP and seeking short-term yield opportunities, these campaigns offer compelling upside with liquidity.

Both promotions are now live on the HTX app and website. Users can simply navigate to the Earn section to activate their yield strategies with a single click.

HTX Earn: Building a User-Centric, Tiered Yield Ecosystem

From the VIP Flexible product to promotional yield campaigns, HTX is accelerating the development of a multi-layered, differentiated yield ecosystem. On one hand, VIP Flexible strengthens services for high-net-worth users, enhancing capital retention and long-term engagement; on the other, promotional campaigns for assets like LIT and TRUMP stimulate broader participation and improve overall capital efficiency across the platform.

This dual approach, combining premium customization with inclusive incentives, ensures that users across different risk profiles and capital scales can access suitable yield solutions. At its core, HTX Earn remains firmly user-centric: wherever user demand emerges, yield opportunities follow. Looking ahead, HTX will remain dedicated to product innovation and user experience optimization, offering a wider array of earning solutions that balance high-yield advantages with superior liquidity.

As crypto markets continue to evolve, choosing a platform that offers stability, high returns, and high liquidity is becoming essential. Through continuous product innovation and experience optimization, HTX is positioning itself as a professional gateway to sustainable, high-quality yield, helping users navigate volatility while unlocking long-term wealth growth.
