Room styles
NATURALLY COOL
The most contemporary, stylized and sleek of our designs, the "Naturally Cool" room is versatile enough for almost any setting—urban, suburban or resort; cool or warm climate. The polished wood floor, sophisticated wardrobe and TV unit are unique in the industry for a guestroom style. Naturally Cool is targeted at the upper upscale market.
NY MANSION HOUSE
The “NY Mansion House” design is defined by its sophisticated strong lines, deep rich timber finishes, flashes of chrome and enlivening turquoise. The dark and clubby—yet simultaneously contemporary and avant garde—ambiance features bold attention to style and detail and a powerful use of artwork. The overall atmosphere is elegant with the feel of an upper-class lounge.
OCEAN
The “Ocean” room features a light, bright, modern design with a distinctly Scandinavian feel. Its fresh, contemporary scheme fits well across a variety of global locations, featuring pop art components and vibrant colors. Like Urban, it is squarely targeted in the upscale market segment.
AND RELAX
The “And Relax” room features light ceramics, subtle woods and rich colors, fabrics and textures that are warm and fresh. Its light color scheme is contrasted with a vibrant magenta-colored accent wall that gives a bright and friendly overall impression.
URBAN
Complete in its design, the “Urban” room is a true combination of form and function. Design classics, modern lines, solid splashes of color and subtle tones are all underpinned by a functionality that has been honed from the experiences of some of the best hotel designers and operators in the world today.
Restaurants
RBG GRILL

Easy, honest and good value all the way: that’s the thinking behind RBG. We’ve developed the entire concept to allow for rapid conversion of existing restaurants or new build, to help you get up to speed quickly in any location.
FILINI
Filini is a contemporary Italian bar and restaurant that impacts the senses. It fulfills the customer’s desire for an affordable and authentic Italian experience delivered with stylish ambiance. The design and mood complement the exquisite yet simple food. The wine, the bar, the music, the details and the people—all make Filini a truly unique contemporary Italian experience.
FIRELAKE GRILLHOUSE & COCKTAIL BAR
Based on the original restaurant adjacent to the Radisson Plaza Hotel Minneapolis, the FireLake concept features locally sourced ingredients, organic produce and grass-fed beef.
