Radisson Rewards

Radisson Rewards is the loyalty scheme for Radisson hotels, which includes these brands: Country Inn, Park Inn, Park Plaza, Radisson, Radisson Blu, Radisson Blu Edwardian, Radisson Collection and Radisson RED.

Our main two-part introduction to Radisson Rewards is here and you can learn more about the program on radissonhotels.com here.
