Country Inns & Suites By Carlson changes name
Upper midscale brand Country Inns & Suites By Carlson has made a name change.
It is now called Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, to better leverage the Radisson brand identity, parent Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group said.
It will allow the brand to tap the global strength of the Radisson brand.
Consumer-facing changes will gradually roll out in stages throughout the first half of 2018, which include a new visual identity and updated logo, and refreshed marketing.
The Country Inn & Suites brand currently has 480 hotels open worldwide.
The Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group’s Radisson family of brands also includes Radisson, Radisson Blu, Radisson RED and Park Inn by Radisson.
