Well, that was quite a winter. And, just when we thought it was over, along comes part two! Merely surviving the weather seems as good a reason as any to get away, so a number of Canadian Radisson hotels have unveiled great ways to escape for a day or two - kind of a Spring Break for parents.

“This year, for many Canadians, winter was a huge ordeal,” says Diana Reichert, Senior Marketing Manager, Radisson Hotels & Resorts Canada. “Most of us weren’t lucky enough to head south during the cold weather, and since summer seems a long way off, now is the prefect time to slip away and enjoy some time with your favourite person at a Radisson hotel.”
Some of these packages feature the popular Radisson Go PackageSM, offered at hotels and resorts throughout Canada and the United States. They feature a full breakfast, upgrade to best available room at check-in and a special Go PackSM filled with amenities and surprises that are “must haves” for people on-the-go.
These getaways are available on line at www.radissoncanada.com on the Leisure page under World of Experiences. Guests can also call the Radisson toll-free reservation line at 800-333-3333 or contact their travel pro.
