Radisson Hotel Group launches “Esports Ready” service for gamers
Gaming has evolved from being confined to basements and bedroom setups; it now commands the spotlight in global arenas and even luxury hotels. Radisson Hotel Group is making a bold move by launching “Esports Ready by Radisson Hotels,” a specialised hospitality initiative explicitly built for professional esports players, teams, and tournament organisers.
The rise of esports in the APAC and MENA regions
From streaming platforms to packed stadiums, the esports industry is expected to hit a jaw-dropping $13.7 billion by 2032. Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa aren’t just growing; they’re dominating in esports. With mobile-first gaming cultures and strong government support, these regions are hotbeds for both talent and tournament hosting.
“Esports Ready” programme for gamers
This bespoke programme, created in partnership with Spacefwd, a top esports and gaming infrastructure specialist, is carefully crafted with precision. It transcends the status of being simply “gamer-friendly” to being entirely optimised for esports. The objective is simple: to provide environments where esports professionals can perform at their best.
Luxurious features of this programme
Blazing-fast internet connectivity: Users will get 500/500 Mbps symmetric internet with 100% uptime, backup lines, and cabled connections.
Flexibility in check-in, check-out, and amenities: Users will enjoy extraordinary facilities like early check-ins, late check-outs, 24/7 gym access, and to-go meals.
Dedicated team zones and gaming lounges: Users will also get private gaming rooms, team lounges, and secure storage—all just steps away from their suite. It’s like having your esports boot camp, but with room service.
Nutrition, fitness, and focus-friendly services: Users will also get balanced meals from fitness centres.
Participating Radisson properties
Leading the charge, over 100 Esports Ready properties are now online, including notable locations such as Radisson Blu Hotel in Cologne, Radisson RED Galway, Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel at Delhi Airport, Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Bangkok, and Radisson Collection Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. These hotels were carefully selected for their ideal layouts and esports-friendly infrastructure. Designed to accommodate both global and regional tournaments, they provide the versatility and quality needed for everything from local LAN parties to international showdowns.
Angela Graun, VP of Sales Operations, Radisson Hotel Group, stated, “The high-stakes world of esports means every second counts, and every detail matters. Radisson Hotel Group understands the unique challenges the industry faces when it comes to demanding travel schedules, unpredictable practice times, the need for seamless and reliable connectivity, and secure, functional spaces to strategise and unwind. With Esports Ready by Radisson Hotels, we can help overcome these hurdles impacting performance and event success. Thanks to our diverse global portfolio of thoughtfully designed properties, Radisson Hotel Group can cater to the specific needs of esports travellers and create seamless experiences that facilitate esports success.”
This is just the beginning. With plans to expand the programme across even more properties, Radisson is set to become the go-to hospitality brand for esports worldwide.
