Radisson Hotels & Resorts today announced its launch of two new summer travel packages designed for adults and families seeking fun, convenience and relaxation. Known for making vacation planning seamless, Radisson has created The Getaway Package for adults and The Family Getaway Package for families. Both packages are available at all Radisson properties throughout the United States, Caribbean and Canada, and are effective May 15 through Oct. 1, 2006. "Today's travelers want more individual control over their travel and hotel experience, so we conducted consumer travel research to find out what type of travel package amenities and services would be attractive to adults, and what kind of travel activities would be fun for kids," said Deanne Paschke, director of brand partnerships and promotions at Carlson Hotels Worldwide, parent company of Radisson Hotels & Resorts. "These special getaway packages were designed to provide guests with a variety of options, including a great SLEEP NUMBER bed room rate, while surrounded by an array of on-site services, amenities and local attractions." The Getaway Package The Getaway Package offers all the comforts of home and then some for adults planning to travel for leisure this summer. It includes a Sleep Number bed room rate, breakfast for two, late check-out, a bottle of red or white wine or non-alcoholic beverage, plus a gift bag filled with relaxation amenities and other surprises to help make the getaway complete. The Family Getaway Package The Family Getaway Package will instill fun memories for years to come. For the thousands of families that plan to travel together this summer, The Family Getaway Package is loaded with fun and convenience: a Sleep Number bed room rate, breakfast for four, a kid's backpack loaded with gear to keep the kids busy and happy, and a late check-out. Radisson Special Services and Amenities Radisson hotels offer Express YourselfSM guest check-in service, where guests can check-in via www.radisson.com at their convenience up to seven days in advance of their arrival, providing an expedited check-in and enabling more control over their hotel experience. In addition, Radisson Hotels & Resorts now feature Sleep Number beds throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, and healthy food choices are available on restaurant menus. For assistance with tee times, tours and site-seeing plans, friendly and knowledgeable concierges or front desk staff are on hand to make recommendations. To help guests take advantage of these Getaway packages, many Radisson hotels offer an online "Virtual Concierge" to assist guests in planning ahead.
