Radisson Hotel Group has agreed a deal with London Resort Company Holdings to become a stakeholder in its 535-acre theme park project near Dartford in Kent with the opening of a Radisson Blu hotel.
It follows LRCH’s revived deal with Paramount Pictures and the appointment of entrepreneur PY Gerbeau as its new chief executive.
The proposed 430-bedroom Radisson Blu hotel will feature a bar and restaurant as well as large meeting and event spaces. There will also be leisure facilities, including a spa and swimming pool.
The long-planned scheme, which also has agreed deals with BBC Studios and ITV Studios, is being touted as the UK’s largest theme park and entertainment destination.

Gerbeau said: “Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to the resort represents a significant milestone and is testimony to the absolute conviction the team has to deliver this project.
“Radisson Hotel Group will be bringing films and characters to life in what will be an unforgettable hotel experience and will complement the incredible experiences and attractions Paramount Studios will also be bringing to the resort.”
