Radisson

Hilton's major competitor

Radisson is a hotel chain with properties worldwide, typically mid-range to upscale: We stayed at the Radisson near the airport.

The name comes from Pierre-Esprit Radisson, a 17th-century French explorer of North America.

Like other hotel brands, Radisson sometimes stands in for generic lodging: Find us a Radisson or something similar.
