Radisson South to Switch Flags

BLOOMINGTON, MN-One of Radisson's oldest and largest hotels in its hometown will become a Sheraton in mid-March.

BLOOMINGTON, MN-The Radisson South in Bloomington will soon be flying the flag of Sheraton Hotels, one of Radisson’s arch-competitors.

The upscale 565-room convention hotel, considered by many a flagship hotel in the Minnetonka-based Radisson Hotel chain, was built by Radisson founder Curt Carlson in 1970, his first step toward building a nationwide hotel empire. The Twin Cities’ third largest hotel has operated as a Radisson ever since, even after it was sold for about $32 million eight years ago to LaSalle Hotel Properties.
