Carlson Hotels brands include Regent Hotels & Resorts; Radisson Hotels & Resorts; Park Plaza® Hotels & Resorts; Country Inns & Suites By Carlson; and Park Inn.
Further demonstrating momentum in the relationship, Carlson Hotels Worldwide and Expedia will launch a flexible pricing pilot under which Carlson properties in certain markets will benefit from value-added exposure on Expedia sites, in addition to the bookings they receive from Expedia. The agreement further strengthens the companies' long-standing strategic partnership, building on several consecutive multi-year agreements, as well as the milestone of having launched the first direct connection between an online travel agency and a global hotel chain.
