The Revival of Radisson

CEO Hubert Joly of Carlson Hotels previewed a project to draw more of a distinct line between Radisson’s upscale and upper upscale within their properties. The project, to be launched by the company early next year, also seeks to import successful service concepts from overseas. Carlson plans on introducing this distinction beginning in 2010, which is a line of ‘Green” hotels (upscale around primary and secondary cities) and “Blu” (upper scale properties). The hotel group will also be introducing design standards for Radisson properties for the first time and will be launching service concepts that have worked well internationally to North American properties. Stay tuned in 2010 to see if Radisson’s New Year Makeover is a success! http://tinyurl.com/yzz2ytf
