Radisson Opens a Verified Net Zero Hotel

August 19, 2025

Radisson Hotel Group has opened the Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, one of the first two hotels globally to achieve Verified Net Zero status.

Marking a major milestone in sustainable hospitality, the property reflects Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to reaching Net Zero by 2050, with the property already meeting the 2040 requirements of the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels—as verified by independent third party TÜV Rheinland.

Emerging from a full transformation of the former Park Inn by Radisson, the hotel is set in the heart of Oslo, offering quick access to iconic landmarks like the Oslo Opera House and the Munch Museum, with shopping, dining and entertainment right outside the front door.

Onsite amenities include a restaurant, bar and lounge along with a renovated gym and six versatile meeting rooms for up to 100 guests, all with modern AV equipment and free high-speed Wi-Fi to keep everyone connected.

100% Renewable Energy

In addition to 100% renewable electricity and city district heating powered by sustainable sources, guests will experience the property’s Verified Net Zero status through initiatives like:

Low-carbon menus curated with Swedish partner Klimato, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients while reducing recipe carbon footprints up to 40%, without compromising on taste.
Zero-waste initiatives such as food waste tracking software (eSmiley), a partnership with Too Good To Go to make surplus food available on a community app and widespread recycling infrastructure including the use of glass bottles and Nespresso pod recycling
100% bulk bathroom amenities and recycling of the packaging with Clean the World plastic-free dry amenities and a program to minimize waste of accessory amenities
Glass water bottles in guest and conference rooms, as opposed to PET plastic
Recycling bins in all guestrooms and main public areas including the lobby and conference rooms
Digital tools that reduce paper use, including the Stay E-concierge app
Guest facing initiatives like Dripdrop, which offers hotel umbrellas for reuse, and with a tree is planted every time a guest borrows an umbrella.

Oslo is one of the few cities in Europe to use fully renewable energy for its district heating by using renewable heat generated from multiple sources such as city waste treatment, or data centers.
