These 7 Radisson hotels should be on your radar!

Although Radisson might not be the most frequently mentioned hotel chain, it boasts some remarkable properties and a strong rewards program. While the United States lacks any truly breathtaking Radisson properties (with the exception of a new Times Square location opening later this year), the situation is quite different internationally. From rotating rooftop restaurants to acrobatic wine angels, here are seven amazing Radisson hotels to consider for your next international trip.

It may seem unusual to include an airport hotel on this list, but the Radisson Blu Hotel near Zurich Airport is exceptional. Despite being just a seven-minute shuttle ride from the airport, it offers a unique feature: Angel's Wine Tower Bar. This bar boasts an impressive wine tower and acrobats who fetch your drinks. Room rates start at $153, which is reasonable given Switzerland's high costs.
