Radisson Rewards<\/a> doesn’t get much attention nowadays, after they ceased all the ludicrous promotions and made a total mess when having to split the program into two and eventually sold the Americas one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Radisson does have some decent redemption opportunities in the UK and Europe, which we will talk about today. If you have the UK Amex Platinum or Gold card, you can transfer your membership rewards points to Radisson Rewards at an impressive 1:3 ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could view Radisson’s hotel directory here<\/a>, although it’s not very easy to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Radisson Collection Royal Mile<\/a><\/strong> – 60,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Edinburgh can be very expensive in the summer (especially August due to the Military Tattoo), and 60,000 points is a bargain for a five star hotel. However, I stayed here once when it was still a Quorvus<\/em> (what a weird name), and frankly I wasn’t impressed at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Radisson Blue Hotel Cardiff<\/a><\/strong> – 30,000 points<\/em> (Review here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Park Inn<\/a> used be a better option, but both properties cost 30,000 points now under the new pricing system and Radisson Blu is obviously a fancier hotel. Their room is very basic, but the price is great for a busy night in central Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honourable Mention:<\/em> Radisson Blu Liverpool<\/a> is also at 30,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Park Inn by Radisson York<\/a><\/strong> – 30,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

York is a small town but extremely popular with tourists. Its town centre has acquired a few more hotels in recent years such as the Hampton<\/a> and Hotel Indigo<\/a>, yet a Saturday-night stay is usually still eyewatering expensive, when 30,000 points is really a steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Blackpool FC Stadium Hotel<\/strong><\/a> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It’s a Radisson Individuals hotel, a newly adopted concept copied from the likes of Autograph Collection and Curio. The hotel is built within the football stadium which means some of their rooms feature pitch view, a fun experience similar to the Marriott hotel at Twickenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. River Ness Hotel<\/a><\/strong> – 45,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There are few choices when you want to stay at Inverness, and this newly-flagged Radisson Individuals gives you an option to spend your points. From online reviews I don’t think it’s a qualified four star as the service is very limited, but at least it’s a clean and cosy hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Radisson Blu Waterfront Jersey<\/a><\/strong> – 45,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hotel chains are almost non-existent on the Jersey Island, and 45,000 points for a short weekend away in the summer is pretty decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Radisson Blu and Spa Sligo<\/strong><\/a> – 30,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A good property in Ireland for a spa break it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Park Inn by Radisson Dresden<\/a><\/strong> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Radisson’s presence is very strong in Germany, but good redemptions are very rare in general (partly due to lower hotel rates in the country). Dresden’s Park Inn is one that I can find with some value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Radisson Blu Resort Swinoujscie<\/strong><\/a> – 30,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Apparently Swinoujscie is beach city near the Poland-Germany border. The hotel’s swimming pool looks very nice and its night rate easily passes the \u20ac200 mark in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Park Inn by Radisson Budapest<\/a><\/strong> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I stayed here for one night on a late-night arrival. The hotel is fairly remote and very basic, however for a one-night transition it’s acceptable when rates are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Park Inn Hotel and Spa Zalakaros<\/strong><\/a> – 30,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It’s a family spa resort in Hungary which used to cost only 9,000 points at the beginning, but at 30,000 points it still seems to be a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honourable Mention:<\/em> Park Inn Sarvar Resort & Spa<\/a> is a similar hotel in Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Radisson Blu Hotel Larnaca<\/a><\/strong> – 45,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cyprus almost seems be to a Virgin island when its comes to international hotel chains. 45,000 points is a good deal compared to the cash rate, and breakfast is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Metropolitan Hotel Sofia<\/a><\/strong> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Both InterContinental Sofia<\/a> and Hotel Sofia Balkan<\/a> are very solid luxury hotels in the city. But if you are on a lower budget, the four-star Metropolitan Hotel could be on your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul<\/strong><\/a> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When in comes to great hotels, Istanbul offers you countless options but most of them are in the northern part of the city. If you are looking for something in the old town, this Radisson Individuals right by Hagia Sophia might be the right (and cheap) choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Radisson Blu Hotel, Kayseri<\/a><\/strong> – 15,000 points<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Kayseri may not sound familiar to you, but tourists going for the hot air balloon experience usually have a stopover here first when in Turkey. This Radisson Blu is a five-star and ranked #1 on TripAdvisor. Breakfast is included for redemptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
