A staggering structure along the Moskva River, the Radisson Royal Hotel, Moscow houses 497 guest rooms and suites, more than five restaurants and three bars, a wellness center and meeting spaces that can accommodate up to 1,000 guests. It's also centrally located in Moscow by public transportation and numerous restaurants and shops. All guest rooms include complimentary Wi-Fi access, heated bathroom floors, soaking tubs and free access to the Royal Wellness Club's fitness center and pool. Upgraded suites offer espresso machines, separate seating areas and breakout rooms for private meetings, while the Presidential Suite boasts an automatic Schimmel piano, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen and a Bang & Olufsen entertainment center. Recent guests were especially impressed with the ample space and comfortable beds in the accommodations. Other highlights include the property's swimming pool and art deco Mercedes Bar, which offers panoramic city views. However, some visitors said the staff member could stand to be a bit friendlier.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Krakow is located within Krakow, Poland's city center near shops, restaurants and must-visit attractions like the Rynek Glówny (Market Square) and the Wawel Cathedral. Inside this Carlson Rezidor-affiliated property, visitors have access to a fitness center, a sauna, a beauty salon and eight meeting spaces, plus a bar and two restaurants: Solfez (where a large breakfast buffet is offered every morning) and Milk & Co (which serves a selection of Polish and international dishes daily). And in the 196 guest rooms and suites, travelers will find modern decor, as well as amenities like flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee makers, free internet access and expansive windows with city views. Recent guests described the beds as extremely comfortable, the housekeeping as top-notch, the Wi-Fi as fast and the breakfasts as delicious; however, some remarked that the price for breakfast was a bit steep. Keep in mind, though, that Club Carlson loyalty program members can help keep costs down by paying for rooms with points.

Connected to Minneapolis' famed Mall of America by a short indoor walkway, this Radisson Blu outpost beckons to shopaholics seeking a convenient place to hang their hats. But even if you're not looking to partake in retail therapy, you can still take advantage of the wide variety of entertainment options found inside the shopping center, including comedy shows and roller coaster rides at the Nickelodeon Universe theme park. Or you can steer clear of the mall altogether and enjoy the hotel's indoor pool, fitness center, FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar and 24-hour room service. Guests consistently praise the Radisson Blu Mall of America's comfortable rooms and homey feel created by calming colors, cozy beds, personal refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Past visitors also applauded the attentive hotel staff, which they describe as particularly friendly and resourceful. Another bonus of choosing to stay at this Radisson property: The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the nearby Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. What's more, Club Carlson members can earn and redeem points here.

With Lake Michigan as its backdrop, the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago combines Chicago's iconic views and its chic, urban design. Previous guests are blown away by the look of this relatively young hotel, describing the building's design as interesting and innovative. Within walking distance of Millennium Park and The Magnificent Mile, this Radisson – which falls within the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group brand – serves as an excellent home base for city exploration without appearing too tourist-focused. Recent guests say the Radisson Blu Aqua maintains a boutique hotel feel without sacrificing the high customer service standards hallmark to the brand. The stylishly designed rooms feature flat-screen TVs, single-service coffee makers and free Wi-Fi – an amenity for which previous guests are thankful. And though this property puts you near a variety of neighborhood eateries, visitors recommend the on-site Filini restaurant and bar for Italian cuisine and a lively atmosphere. Guests can also enjoy a wealth of rooftop amenities, from the lap pool and hot tub to the fire pit and deck chairs from which to take in Chicago's skyline. When the chilly Chicago weather comes, guests can make use of the indoor two-lane lap pool. Additionally, Club Carlson rewards program members can use their points here for free nights and upgrades.
