The Radisson Blu Hotel Sandton has just opened in Johannesburg and it sounds cool enough to go with the "Blu" title.Big flat-screen LCD TVs for all, complimentary WiFi for all, and a big wine bar and lounge, this hotel sounds great except for one not-so-cool (well, to us) feature. As part of its ONEwellness Spa and fitness center, it's got this:<blockquote>an indoor/outdoor jogging course that snakes in and out of the hotels public areas.</blockquote>So they want us to jog, sweaty and puffy, through public areas of the hotel? The hotel designers obviously have a

From now until April 30, the hotels are offering 20 percent off three-night weekend stays through January 2010. But you have to book your stay before April 30 and it must include a Saturday night stay. Interestingly enough, the <a href="http://www.twonights.radissonsas.com/">Radisson Blu website</a> is also promoting the same deal for two night stays.The deal is good at such Blu hotels like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Radisson+Sas+Hotel+Zurich+Airport/ian/268474">Radisson Blu Hotel, Zurich Airport</a> which has a phenomenal <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/8/7171/61746/hotels/Radisson_SAS_Zurich_Has_Europe_s_Tallest_Wine_Tower">wine collection</a>.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/Paris.Dokhan.Deluxe.Room.jpg" class="top"> It appears <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Radisson%20Blu%20Hotels">Radisson Blu</a> has somehow gotten into our Parisian daydreams, which go a little something like this: frolicking about the city looking at art all day, drinking champagne in an ornate bar all evening, and then riding up a magical elevator made out of Louis Vuitton bags to go to our sweet suite (um, then we eat chocolate and hang out with our lovah and go to sleep). The brand new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Radisson+Blu+Le+Dokhan%27s+Hotel%2C+Paris+Trocadero/local/1472">Radisson Blu Le Dokhan's</a>, the latest property from the brand <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/4/1201/07199/hotels/Adventures_in_Rebranding_Radisson_SAS_is_Now_Radisson_Blu">formerly known</a> as <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Radisson%20SAS%20Hotels">Radisson SAS</a>, makes the whole fantasy come true well, the first part, anyway. The hotel, located in the 16th arrondissement, features 45 rooms accessible by seriously

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/RSASZurich.jpg" class="top"> Happy Wednesday! Here, we wrote you a poem: Radisson SAS hotels are all changing their names, 'Cause someone thought the SAS part was lame. The new name of the brand is gonna be Radisson Blu 'Cause rebranding will make 'em all seem cool and new Yes, these hotels are as chic and modern as can be As evidenced by the oh-so-2009 lack of an 'e.' For those unfamiliar with the brand formerly known as <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Radisson%20SAS%20Hotels">Radisson SAS</a>: SAS International Hotels teamed up with the Radisson brand in '94 to build hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to develop the rapidly-growing, super-contemporary hotel chain. By '06, there were more than 150 Radisson SAS properties and

Zurich: Radisson SAS Zurich Has Europe's Tallest Wine Tower

amandak — 2008-09-08T09:40:06-05:00

We are pretty easily impressed by anything that's a world's biggest or world's tallest, and so it's no wonder that the Radisson SAS Zurich Airport has caught our eye. It's got Europe's tallest wine tower.

Like we said, we're easily impressed, but then we had to stop and wonder what a wine tower actually is.

Apparently the tower includes a system to keep wines at exactly the right temperatures.
