RHG announces the signing of the Radisson Hotel City Centre Odessa (Ukraine), the Group’s first property in the historic port city on the Black Sea. The conversion of the existing “Hotel Milano” on Deribasovskaya Street, the main one of Odessa, will be rebranded as a Radisson Hotel in early 2021. With the introduction of this new property, the Group will reach 8 hotels and 1,445 guest rooms in operation in Ukraine.
Radisson Hotel Group was the first and remains the leading international hotel group in the Ukraine. We are thrilled to add this hotel and the Radisson brand to our Ukrainian portfolio as we enter the great city of Odessa with the conversion of this existing hotel in a prime location. Our upscale Radisson brand has seen great traction since the EMEA launch in 2018 with more than 50 hotels opened and under development.

The classicist designed Hotel Milano originally opened its doors in 2017 with 90 guest rooms in the heart of Odessa on the cosmopolitan Derybasivskaya Street, a hub for locals and tourists, filled with shops, restaurants, and bars. The new Radisson Hotel City Centre Odessa will feature an extension of 37 additional rooms, restaurant and meeting space which are currently under construction.
Radisson Hotel City Centre Odessa is located in the prime city-center close to the renowned Odessa Opera House, the famous Potemkin Stairs, and the bustling Port of Odessa. The sandy beach resorts of Arkadia can be easily accessed within 20 minutes by car. The city of Odessa attracts visitors from around the world, and has a rich history for many cultures. With renowned hospitality and modern amenities, Radisson Hotel City Centre Odessa will offer everything guests could wish for while visiting the hotel for business or leisure trips.
The addition of a Radisson hotel in the city of Odessa represents a great achievement for the owners, who have always believed in the city of Odessa as a prime tourist destination and as a hub for the business community of Ukraine. Strong demand has accelerated the growth of the local hotel sector in recent years, but the presence of a leading hotel operator capable of offering high standards in terms of quality and service sets a new benchmark for all travelers visiting this beautiful city.
