Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of two new properties—Radisson Hotel Mumbai Thane and Radisson Hotel Mumbai Mira Bhayandar—in partnership with Vihang Group, marking a strategic expansion within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The dual signing, comprising a total of 217 keys, highlights the group’s focus on tapping into high-growth micro-markets within metro cities where demand is increasingly shifting beyond traditional business districts.
The signing aligns with Radisson’s long-term growth strategy, reflecting patterns seen in hospitality expansion deals.Expanding into Emerging Urban Corridors
The development of the two hotels reflects a broader industry trend of hospitality growth extending into peripheral urban clusters.

The 103-room property is positioned as the first five-star hotel in the Mira Bhayandar micro-market, addressing the need for internationally branded hospitality in the area.
Planned facilities include all-day dining and specialty restaurants, a bar, banquet and meeting spaces, as well as leisure amenities such as a gym and swimming pool.
Thane: Strengthening Presence in a Key Business Hub
Radisson Hotel Mumbai Thane will feature 114 rooms and will be located along Pokhran Road, a key business and residential corridor.
The property benefits from strong connectivity to Thane Railway Station, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport.
Its positioning targets business travellers, MICE demand, and corporate activity in the region.
Strategic Partnership with Vihang Group

By bringing Radisson to Vihang Ventura, we are creating a premier destination that blends business, retail and hospitality. This project is a badge of pride for Vihang Ahead, setting a new lifestyle benchmark and putting Mira Bhayandar on the national hospitality map. We are here to transform this skyline, and this is just the beginning of much more to come.”

These signings align with that strategy, allowing us to deepen our footprint within high-growth urban clusters and cater to evolving demand from business and MICE segments. By building scale in such locations, we are well positioned to address the next phase of urban expansion in India’s leading cities.”

“Tier 1 cities are strategic to our growth through high-yield assets and identification of high potential micromarkets within metros, where improving connectivity and commercial momentum are driving new demand centres. Both properties are part of mixed-use developments, which allow us to integrate hospitality within larger commercial and retail ecosystems, enhancing asset value and ensuring sustained demand. By securing well-located projects in Thane and Mira Bhayandar, we are able to create a strategic cluster within the region while delivering long-term value for our partners through demand-led, location-driven growth.”
