Free breakfast used to be perk for Gold members, but since the change in the name it is perk available only to Concierge level - see here.

I believe this applies only to those who have Carlson membership AND Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Card.

As the free award night comes with the card and it's not possible to have the card without a membership I'm not sure where you going with this?

Free breakfast for 2 on a points stay at Park Plaza Vondelpark, Amsterdam. A really terrific breakfast spread, too, with lots of hot and cold items.

And any of their credit cards, I believe.

To add to the OP's topic: At the Radisson PVD airport, it's an option among room upgrade to a suite, and in-room amenity. There might be another option that I can't remember. But this was the m.o. I was told. I was also told that the options m.o. is corporate-wide policy, though I am aware that it's not, or if it is, it's not applied consistently. Anyway, I chose breakfast, it was any entree, including lobster benedict, and I was not disappointed.

I have never had free breakfast as a separate benefit. However, some hotels do consistently upgrade this gold member to room categories that automatically include breakfast - suites or business class rooms.

This applies at
RadissonBlu Malta Golden Sands
RadissonBlu Hotel Tallinn

Yes, that's how I'm getting free breakfasts... So, in some sense it is an indirect Gold perk, but definitely not a direct perk.

I only didn't get it once and was surprised by that since I thought it was a direct perk. Anyone venture to guess a % of free breakfasts?

Got free breakfast for two for two nights at Radisson Los Angeles USC after asking if it is included in the room rate.

Don't even remind me of that one - had business class room booking there in June 2012 for two people. For some strange reason, the included breakfast was for one person only... There are also other reasons why I would never ever return to that hotel...

No breakfast:

Chicago Radisson Blu
Paris Radisson Blu Hotel Champs Elysees
Radisson Blu Rome

Breakfast:

New York Radisson
Radisson Blu Venice
Radisson Blu Cannes
Radisson Blu Nice


MOST of the time, free breakfast is stated in the Rate Details/Descriptions. Only NYC was an upgrade to suite/biz resulting in free breakfast that was not listed in Rate Details/Descriptions.

I have a stay at Austin Radisson next week...
will enjoy 2 nights for 44K as I do have the VISA card.

FWIW.... I asked hotel, they can add breakfast for 15K points,
not sure if that is worth it, probably not.
(But 2 nights parking for 6K ... maybe.. .
