SSH has announced its appointment as the Lead Design Consultant for the new Radisson RED branded hotel on Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), United Arab Emirates.
The 269-room lifestyle hotel will mark a significant milestone for the Radisson RED brand in the region, and will introduce a new hospitality experience to one of the UAE's growing tourist destinations. Stirling Hospitality Advisors, a boutique advisory firm, are acting as owner representatives on behalf of BB Holding. They are managing the collaboration between stakeholders and overseeing the successful delivery of the hotel, said the statement.
'The project represents an exciting evolution of the Radisson RED brand in the region, and SSH is thrilled to bring our design expertise to a destination with such potential. The hotel's creative brief allows us to explore bold, innovative design solutions that deliver a guest experience aligned with the future of hospitality,' said Michael Byron, Managing Director at SSH, UAE.
'We are excited to collaborate with BB Holding, Radisson, and SSH International Consultants on this exceptional lifestyle project. This venture will set a new benchmark for design and guest experiences in Ras Al Khaimah, and we are proud to be part of bringing this vision to life,' added Tatiana Veller, Managing Director of Stirling Hospitality Advisors.
Located on Marjan Island, the hotel will be situated within a district that blends retail, dining, and leisure experiences, and will boast a mall and a signature water fountain. The Radisson RED brand will undergo a refreshing transformation in this region, evolving its signature loft-industrial aesthetic into a softer, resort inspired style. Both the architecture and interiors will embrace natural materials and muted tones, fostering a warm and contemporary ambiance with the relaxed coastal vibe of Marjan Island, the statement added.
Targeted at Millennial and Gen Z travelers seeking a unique, design-centric experience, this lifestyle hotel marks the inaugural franchised Radisson RED property in the UAE to feature the updated RED concept. Just a stone's throw away from the shoreline, guests will enjoy exclusive private beach access. The hotel promises a fresh and vibrant hospitality experience, featuring contemporary guest rooms and suites designed with modern elements and amenities, all while staying true to the Radisson RED brand's design-driven ethos, it continued.
The hotel will offer a diverse range of amenities, including four distinct dining venues: an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop specialty restaurant, a lobby lounge bar, and a poolside bar. Guests will also have access to a fully equipped gym, an outdoor pool, a serene spa, and dedicated MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) facilities. This comprehensive setup positions the hotel as a prime destination for both relaxation and corporate events.
As the Lead Design Consultant, SSH is responsible for delivering both pre-contract and post-contract services. They will manage the project's design from the pre-concept stage through to the construction stage. Additionally, they will provide construction supervision services during the execution phase.

Cape Town's young hospitality stars rise through Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator
As Youth Month honours the sacrifices that shaped South Africa's democracy, it also shines a light on the young talent now redefining key industries. Hospitality, long a training ground for creativity, resilience, and opportunity, continues to open doors for the country's youth. At Cape Town's Radisson Red Waterfront, three young professionals are proving what's possible when passion meets opportunity. Alicia Blauw, Julius Petersen, and Sibulele Fon are making their mark in the industry through their journey with Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator. Connecting youth to hospitality careers Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a South African non-profit organisation dedicated to tackling youth unemployment by linking young people with skills development, work opportunities, and career pathways. By partnering with businesses and training providers, Harambee is helping build sustainable careers in sectors like hospitality. Alicia Blauw: Finding purpose through confidence "This programme gave me the training and support I needed to prepare for the hospitality industry," says Blauw, now a food and drinks creative. She has found not only confidence, but also purpose. "Before this, youth were often overlooked, many sitting at home without work or a future. But this programme gives hope." Alicia Blauw, Food and Creative, Radisson Red Waterfront A memorable highlight for Blauw was mastering barista skills — a seemingly small achievement that opened the door to self-belief. Her message to fellow young people is clear: 'Never give up hope. There's something meant for you. God gave everyone a purpose. Dream it, then put it into action.' Julius Petersen: Building professionalism and pride Petersen, also a food and drinks creative, credits Harambee with instilling professionalism and teamwork. 'It showed me what's expected in this industry and how to handle it." He values the diversity of the hospitality environment, and one memorable moment: 'I got to meet a celebrity who really liked me." Julius Petersen, Food and Creative, Radisson Red Waterfront For Petersen, Youth Month is a reminder to honour those who paved the way. 'It reminds me not to quit on my dreams and never forget who I am and what I'm capable of.' Sibulele Fon: Growth behind the coffee bar For Fon, now a barista at Radisson Red, the programme created both opportunity and personal growth. 'It educated me about hospitality and helped me get where I am now.' Pulling his first coffee behind the bar was a defining moment. Sibulele Fon, Barista, Radisson Red Waterfront It also boosted his social confidence. 'My communication skills have improved. I'm more interactive than ever before.' His advice to peers? 'Reach for the stars. Don't limit yourself. You CAN achieve more than you ever expected.' Investing in youth means investing in SA's future All three credit Harambee and Radisson Red for providing an environment where young people can thrive. Their stories capture the spirit of Youth Month, honouring the past while actively building a brighter, more inclusive future. Blauw, Petersen, and Fon show that with the right support, young South Africans can lead with creativity, courage, and heart.

South Africa: Surge in virtual card usage signals Gen Z's financial evolution
As South Africa's digital economy evolves, a new generation of consumers is stepping into the spotlight—armed with smartphones, virtual cards, and a growing appetite for online convenience. According to FNB's latest card data, Generation Z – those born between 1997 and 2012 – is becoming a powerful force in the retail banking landscape, with a notable rise in both spending and digital adoption. FNB Card's latest data shows Gen Z customers make up a growing 6.5% of the total spend within the bank's retail banking segment, with their spend value growing by 11% year on year (YoY), and their transaction volumes rising by 8%. 'This base represents young people at various stages in their lives. The oldest among them being in the growing stages of their working careers, potentially starting their families, and generally getting more disciplined about their financial commitments. "So, it's no small feat that they represent a sizable portion of the spending power seen among our customer base, and these numbers clearly speak to their growing economic influence,' says FNB Credit Card Data Science Head, Akshay Bhayroo. Gen Z's spend behaviour also provides further insights of interest. Gen Z's top spending categories mirror those of millennials and the older retail base, with groceries, clothing, fuel, and fast food leading the way. However, when compared to FNB's overall retail customer base who use either credit card or Fusion products for 43% of their spend needs, Gen Z's spend using these products only accounts for 28%. 'These product preferences are reflective of Gen Z's ability to qualify for credit, which may sometimes limit their access to revolving facilities, combined with a level of financial caution,' opines Bhayroo. Digital payment pioneers The nicknames 'Zoomers', 'iGeneration', and 'Digital Natives' point to Gen Zs' rapid usage of the internet and digital platforms. And, true to form, FNB also sees this group's influence in driving the adoption of digital payments at the bank. For example, 27% of Gen Zs spend is done online, compared to 22% of FNB's overall base. At the same time, their online spend has grown by 20% YoY. According to Bhayroo, this is nearly double the growth seen across FNB's broader retail customer base, further underscoring Gen Z's comfort with leading the adoption of digital platforms and e-commerce. 'We also see that their use of virtual cards has grown by 72% YoY, with 22% of their total spend also now taking place on virtual cards. This is well above the 16% average across all other customer age groups,' says Bhayroo, adding that this highlights that Gen Zs understand and have a strong preference for convenient, safe, tech-enabled payment methods. The added value of FNB's virtual cards is that they come with a dynamic card verification value (CVV) security code which changes frequently. Customers can also temporarily block, cancel or replace their FNB or RMB virtual cards via their banking apps as soon as they suspect any kind of fraudulent activity. 'The rapid growth and adoption of our virtual-card offering is encouraging and reassures us that we are on the right track as we continually work to make the lives of our customers easier while innovating to ensure that their transactional environment remains safe and secure. "Our focus is to provide a range of unique and innovative solutions that are centred around our customers' needs and providing true value and help.' concludes Bhayroo. All rights reserved. © 2022.
