With the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak countries all over the world are taking precautions in order to minimize the risk. Just a few weeks later the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Following the news, many airlines were forced […]
My Favorite 12 Things to do Kochi (Kerala, India) – Understand Kochi (also known as Cochin) is the Tampa, FL of India – it’s an endless array of strip malls and suburbs and villages that span across the many islands and peninsulas separated by waterways. Kochi is India but with more space, fewer crowds and less pollution. […]
The Radisson Blu Kochi is a new building along one of the busy roads leading into downtown Kochi in the neighborhood of Ernakulam. I was expecting a ‘grand’ Radisson Blu, given the luxury aspirations of the brand and the typical attentiveness and grand luxury of Indian hotels. However, the building is VERY understated and more […]
The Park Inn by Radisson Nairobi is a brand-new development right next to Westlands’ busiest roundabout at Wayaki Way. The hotel just opened in May 2017 and is part of a hotel boom gripping the city with the ibis Styles Tune Hotel and a Pullman just opened. Check-in was very quick and easy without any long […]
My Favorite 36 Things to do Lima – Understand Lima is a jewel of a city. The weather is temperate here year-round (though winter and spring see the most fog). The city has several clean, urban and still affordable neighborhoods right by the sea. The views are spectacular and the locals are friendly. To sum it […]
The Park Inn by Radisson Ekaterinburg (this Russian town is also known as Yekaterinburg) is a simple hotel that feels much like a Mercure or upmarket ibis. It has a perfect location in downtown Yekaterinburg, with lots of options around it. The hotel has modern rooms and mine was the perfect warmth for the Arctic temperatures of Yekaterinburg. […]
My Favorite 14 Things to do in Zambia – Understand Zambia is a huge country that is sparsely populated; I’m not so sure I would call it a country. It’s an area of conservative Christians with a tribal culture, but which has very little association with the country; it seems people here could just be from Zimbabwe, […]
Marriott’s Protea Lusaka. The location is likely one of the best in all of Zambia‘s capital, with direct access to two malls and several good restaurants. Since the taxi drama at this hotel is even worse at night, it is awesome that you can walk to both shopping centers even late at night without any issues. […]
The Radisson Blu Hotel Lusaka is a modern Category 5 property that’s similar to the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nairobi’s Upper Hill and the Radisson Blu Anchorage Lagos. It’s a low-rise building right in the modern city center, surrounded by several malls that form the backbone of city life in Zambia‘s capital Lusaka. There was almost no […]
The Radisson Blu Nairobi is a new development on Upper Hill. It’s about a 5-minute drive from downtown Nairobi and a 10-minute drive (if there is no traffic) from the Westlands neighborhood. Nairobi has had terrorist attacks and lots of security issues, so the hotel planners designed this as a fortress. The gate is likely […]
The word for hotel in the Latvian language must be Radisson; the small town of Riga has four (!) Radisson properties within a mile radius. The Radisson Blu Daugava is a landmark property in Riga and occupies a huge real estate on the river bank right opposite the Old Town. The hotel has 500 rooms and […]
As with other Baltic cities, Radisson is the predominant hospitality chain in Vilnius. Radisson has given its name to two properties here – the Radisson Blu Royal Astorija Hotel in the middle of the Old Town and the one where I stayed – the Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva, right on the riverbank of the new town. […]

For the past few years, the special rate code for relatives and friends of employees to get exclusive prices at Carlson properties (including Radisson, Park Inn, Country Inns & Suites […]
It’s even prettier than the pictures We’d heard of Samarkand but discounted the pictures a bit. In reality, the country is less crowded, more interesting. more breathtaking and in much better shape than you’d expect. Every sight is extremely well-maintained (on a US level), not crowded and just so well integrated into regular city life that […]
The Radisson Blu Tashkent is currently the sole ‘luxury’ business hotel in this city, since the InterContinental next door lost its franchise agreement and the Hyatt Regency Tashkent has yet to open. The Radisson Blu in Tashkent is located on the northern edge of downtown, which isn’t great, but it’s acceptable. Taxis get you almost anywhere in […]
What are Carlson Corporate Rates? Corporate travelers can often benefit from cheaper stays with select hotel brands and this includes the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. Corporate discounts work by negotiating a discount – if a company has a large footprint in the area of the hotel the discount is likely bigger. The reverse is also true. […]
Things To Do Edinburgh – Understand Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and is chock-full of Scottish history throughout the centuries. While being a major tourist attraction, the city has managed to keep the Old Town alive and yet you will be surprised by how much modern culture you will find here. It took me […]
Things to do Tromsø – Understand Tromsø is located a whopping 69 degrees north – that is further north than the Northern Alaska shoreline (or all of Iceland!)! However, with the warming gulf stream and a location near the sea, the temperatures are much less frigid than what this suggests. This small city is surprisingly […]
