Redefining The City Break: Urban Hotels Making A Splash in 2025
Exotic, evocative, and endlessly enchanting, Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most desirable destinations to visit. Now, Radisson Hotels is helping experience-seeking travellers to feel the pulse of this rapidly-evolving region with a choice of urban hotels in three captivating cities: Bangkok, Danang, and Cebu City. With outstanding accommodation, inspiring views, fantastic facilities, and diverse dining, Radisson Hotels across the region are redefining the city break and inviting guests to make a splash in Southeast Asia.
Feel the Pulse of Bangkok
One of Asia’s most iconic cities, Bangkok is a multi-sensory metropolis where ultra-modern skyscrapers and elevated skytrains soar above timeless street scenes, as friendly local people, aromatic food stalls, and golden temples reflect the genuine essence of daily life in the Thai capital.
Situated in the heart of Sukhumvit, the dynamic commercial district, Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok puts guests in the epicentre of this global city. Stylishly appointed rooms and suites offer contemporary décor and panoramic skyline views, while the premium accommodation offers access to the sophisticated Executive Lounge. Bangkok is one of the world’s great culinary centres, and a selection of six hotel restaurants and lounges includes Attico, which is reminiscent of a Tuscan villa, and China Table, the contemporary Chinese venue. After a day of exploration, Brewski Rooftop Bar is the perfect setting to sip craft beers and cool cocktails as DJs spin upbeat tunes. The elevated outdoor pool, 24-hour gym and spa offer myriad opportunities to unwind.
For couples or families who crave space, convenience and world-class cuisine, Radisson Suites Bangkok Sukhumvit is an outstanding option. Centrally located in Sukhumvit, this upscale hotel features a choice of generously-sized suites which are suitable for parents and kids, plus an outdoor rooftop pool and Jacuzzi for daytime relaxation. Guests can keep fit in the gym or enjoy soothing therapies at the spa, and a free shuttle service offers a quick and easy way to access the area’s shopping malls and skytrain network. For foodies, the hotel’s acclaimed Indian fine dining restaurant, Punjab Grill, has been recognised by the Michelin Guide, and the Holli Bolli Rooftop promises casual top floor dining with sparkling city views.
Urban Seafront Escapes in Danang
Nestled on Vietnam’s central coast, Danang blends the vibrant spirit of a modern Asian metropolis with the laid-back vibe of a beach resort. When guests are not shopping in the city or relaxing on the sand, they can head out and uncover nearby temples, pagodas, and several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Radisson RED Danang introduces an exciting new era of locally-inspired, tech-savvy lifestyle hospitality to this up-and-coming city. Situated on the oceanfront road, just steps from My Khe Beach, this colourful upscale hotel is a place where guests can check in, chill out and kickstart the fun. All of the rooms and suites feature a bold design concept, with signature RED beds, contemporary Vietnamese artworks, and views of the skyline or sea through panoramic windows. Alternatively, travellers can stay connected at the outdoor coffee lounge and co-working space, plunge into the pool, work out at the gym, or dine at the Brasserie. At the end of an exhilarating day, couples and friends can raise a glass at the Rooftop Bar, as live music and panoramic sea views set the scene for unforgettable evenings.
Bayside Bliss in Ha Long City
With almost 2,000 islands rising from the emerald green sea, Ha Long Bay is one of the world’s most iconic seascapes. Travellers who explore this UNESCO World Heritage site should also take some time to uncover the gateway city, which thrives with local seafood restaurants and lively cafés with bay views.
Set directly on the waterfront, close to Bai Chay Beach and the main cruise port, Radisson Blu Hotel, Ha Long Bay frames panoramic views of Ha Long Bay through floor-to-ceiling windows in every room or suite. A morning swim in the rooftop infinity pool as the sun rises over the sea is a magical way to start the day in this dream destination, and mindfulness can be experienced at the spa, fitness centre, and year-round indoor pool. Having enjoyed a rewarding day uncovering the wonders of the city or bay, a choice of six restaurants and bars can set the stage for dramatic dinners. Sea Stars elevates local and global favourites, while Thalassa Wine & Dine is a glamorous option for couples, and the Sky Bar is a spectacular space to raise a glass whilst gazing out across the island-studded scenery.
Step Into History in Cebu City
The oldest city in the Philippines, Cebu City has a rich heritage and a bright future. Visitors can discover 500 years of history at landmarks such as the Magellan Cross, Fort San Pedro and multiple museums. World-class shopping can be found at SM City Cebu, and Mactan Island is a haven for beach lovers.
With its prime position in the main downtown district, surrounded by attractions, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu elevates every urban adventure. Recognised as one of the “Best City Hotels in the Philippines,” this stylish five-star property promises spacious rooms and suites, and a 20th floor Business Class lounge for those staying in higher room categories. Guests can unwind in the 800-square metre outdoor pool oasis, stay refreshed at the pool bar, or revive their senses at the spa. Dining options include Feria Restaurant, which serves a range of local, Mediterranean, and pan-Asian delights. A direct, covered walkway connecting to the impressive SM City Cebu shopping mall makes this the ideal option for retail and lifestyle seekers.
