There’s a new suite at the Radisson Red in downtown Minneapolis that could be enticing to those who like open-concept design. There are no doors, no windows and the exposed concrete ceiling sits high above the king size bed. The space isn’t really a guest room at all but a model for the newly redesigned Radisson hotels. The mock room was built inside unfinished space on the first floor of the Radisson Red hotel. Parent company Radisson Hotel Group, which was renamed earlier this year after its flagship Radisson hotel brand, is in the midst of a major $200 million repositioning that includes redesigning the rooms and lobbies at its Radissons. The model room is a tool executives are using so hotel owners, designers and vendors can walk through the space and provide feedback on the look and feel, practicality and other design elements. “Unless you build the room and people can really touch it and feel it, something is missing,” said Phil Malcolm, vice president of … [Read more...] about Radisson shows off new look in model room at its Red hotel in Minneapolis

Last Updated Dec 11, 2008 1:39 PM EST Extended Stay could turn over company to lenders -- Debt-burdened Extended Stay Hotels could end up handing over the hotel chain to its lenders.

Lexus debuts LF-1 Limitless Concept at Detroit Auto Show
Lexus debuted its landmark Lexus LF-1 Limitless Concept at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show this week, setting the stage for what the automaker calls a “flagship crossover,” and indicating a possible new direction in terms of styling and the use of technology. Flagships. There’s a certain amount of hubris and hyperbole involved when the idea of a “flagship” vehicle comes up. Automakers love them, and shout out about how it “charts a new course,” and “shapes the future,” as if the car is akin to a modern-day Magellan. And while some of that is true, let’s face it: buyers tell automakers what they want, and automakers build it. The limitless shape of Lexus crossovers to come Right now, we want crossovers. So Lexus, in its infinite wisdom, has created a concept that will be an example for future production models. They’re a smart group, after all. It’s fair to give them credit for influencing the current obsession … [Read more...] about Lexus debuts LF-1 Limitless Concept at Detroit Auto Show
