Radisson Hotel and Conference Center
It has long been the dream of many local business owners that some day Fresno would develop a world-class infrastructure that would finally allow the city to begin attracting new commerce to the Valley. With the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, that dream has taken one step closer to coming true.

Located on Ventura Avenue, between L and M Streets, the Radisson boasts the perfect location for the business traveler, as it sits adjacent to the Fresno Convention Center and is just minutes from the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The Hotel offers its guests a complimentary airport shuttle to and from the airport. On the first floor is a state-of-the-art business center complete with photocopy and fax machines. All rooms have modem Internet access. There is over 24,000 square feet of meeting space, with 18 meeting rooms available. Banquet facilities can accommodate up to 1,200 guests.

Perhaps what is most striking about the Radisson is the luxury of its rooms. Hotels that cater to business travelers are often long on services and short on comfort. But the Radisson offers accommodations more along the lines of a first-class resort. All rooms are fitted with plush amenities including designer bedding, a sitting area complete with Armoire and television, and luxurious bathing facilities. In addition, many rooms offer views of the three-story waterfall that highlights the atrium. In all, the Hotel has 321 guest rooms available, including deluxe and presidential suites.

To accommodate the tastes of such a diverse range of guests, the Hotel boasts the International Café which offers diners a wide array of cuisine from around the world. The Café is open from 6:00 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. daily.

Other highlights include free parking, indoor and outdoor pools, and a fitness center. For reservations call 1-888-201-1718.
