Radisson's new room concepts

Hubert Joly, CEO of Carlson Cos. and Carlson Hotels, discussed a plan to update and upgrade the Radisson brand's North American properties and add flagship hotels in top U.S. markets during a presentation in Orlando this week. The changes are part of a five-year plan called "Ambition 2015."

Carlson Hotels is spending up to $1.5 billion to update the Radisson hotels. Among the changes are new, themed designs for the guestrooms, each with its own name. "Naturally cool," for example, is "cool, light and contemporary design," Radisson said.
