"Bringing this property under the Radisson brand greatly enhances our presence in the Twin Cities and improves our ability to connect with guests that appreciate the advantages and genuine hospitality a Radisson hotel offers," said Nancy Johnson, the executive vice president of full-service hotels for Carlson Hotels Worldwide and brand leader for Radisson Hotels & Resorts.  "We are excited to reestablish Radisson's place in this key traffic corridor, offering a unique hotel experience for both business and leisure travelers."

As part of the conversion, the upscale two-year old hotel has added the custom designed Sleep Number bed by Select ComfortTM to one-fourth of its guest rooms.  Unlike traditional mattresses, the Sleep Number bed is a key brand differentiator that enables guest to individually adjust the firmness of their mattress at a touch of a button so they can have more control over their hotel stay.

"We are happy to join a major brand that prides itself on serving today's discriminating travelers who want to stay their own way and prefer the full range of services provided by Radisson Hotels & Resorts," said The Wirth Companies CEO Jeffrey Wirth. "We expect this relationship with Radisson to enhance the success this hotel has achieved during the past two years.  The Radisson brand will also help build further awareness of the hotel's exceptional accommodations, services and meeting facilities to a larger number of travelers and ensure this property will remain a preferred hotel in the destination for years to come, he added."
