Regent in Beijing are really nice and the redemption for a executive suit with lounge access is a real steal.
Regent Singapore is good, but not a real Club Carlson property.

I didn't think Regent was part of the program anymore? I've stayed at the Regent Zagred, this is the best hotel I've ever stayed in, the bath guy runs the best bath I've ever had too. Breakfast is simply sensational, service excellent, super impressed.

Moscow's legendary hotel Ukraina has reopened as the brand new Radisson Royal Hotel Moscow after a three-year renovation period, and is set to operate in a market segment that has not yet been saturated.
$300 million was spent on the renovation of the building
The construction of the 34-storey, 206-metre tall "Soviet classicism"-style hotel, which is one of the city's Stalin-era "Seven Sisters" buildings, was completed in 1957. At that time, it was the tallest hotel in Europe.

Neither are that great. I stay at National often and have been to the Royal, while both nice hotels, there are Ritz-Carlton and Hyatt Park Grand that are nicer. Also, Lotte Plaza Hotel and Swissotel are probably at least as nice as the Royal

Ritz-carlton and Hyatt are rather more upscale brands in general than Radisson. I'd still place the royal on the spot for best Carlson property in the world. Location is so-so unless you have business at the white house, but I really enjoy the historical feeling of that building, and quality overall is very high. I will be visiting Split in september and certainly hope that my opinion will change while there!

Radisson Grand Canaria was spectacular.
Radisson Blu Madrid was very good--nice location and quality accommodation.
The brevity and lack of interest in this post is why I hardly put effort into Club Carlson.
I take the 40K points accumulated each year from three of our household Club Carlson credit cards, and wait for something such as Grand Canaria to fit into our aspirational travel goals.
