Anyway, there is no new information about the whole project, so discussing it is a bit pointless. I suspect the growth of the Radisson portfolio, even in such a booming market like Poland is limited due to the internal situation with Radisson Hotel Group, and the super-weak status of Radisson Rewards is also a contributing factor (as opposed to the boom of Hamptons and HGIs being built up all over the place in Poland, and the high popularity of Hilton Honors).
I was not aware of new property in Gdansk and automatically assumed the green logo is just a mistake and it would be Blu. This is an interesting development for me. I always considered "pure" green Radisson to be a legacy brand for failing US properties that are not good enough for Blu - perhaps something to consider for Sobieski I'm surprised to see they actually intend to introduce the brand in Europe.
Sure, WAW is quite close to the city centre but hotel right next to the airport tends to serve different market, hence the distinction
