The Rezidor Hotel Group is to expand its Radisson Blu portfolio by opening new properties in Germany. These will be hotels in Bremen and Dortmund.

The second property, the Radisson Blu Hotel Bremen, will have 235 guestrooms, and will be rebranded in June 2013. It is also reported that both the hotels will pass through a soft renovation within 18 months.
The hotels will be opened together with Pandox, a long-term partner of Rezidor. The company is the owner of these hotels.
