Radisson Hotel, Vancouver

Radisson Hotel, Vancouver

I was delighted when I was invited to do a photo project of the Radisson Hotel in Richmond, and I thought that this is an excellent opportunity for me to build-up my photo portfolio, and have that experience under my belt.

Like the many major projects that are taking place in the Richmond area, i.e., the speed skating event in theRichmond Oval, and the Canada line, this hotel will be one of them having a "NEW" look in the Fall of 2008.

I'm thinking, post 2009, where this hotel sits @ the corner of Cambie and No. 3 is one prime spot for travellers. Within walking distances, a traveller could access the diverse (mosty Asian) epicurious sites nearby. One prime example, the Golden Szechuan close-by. If one tires of the area, one has to walk barely 5 minutes from the hotel to the Aberdeen station, hop on the Canada line, and travel to down-town Vancouver in about 20 minutes (while making fun of those stuck in traffic along the way).

For those wanting to jog, and away from cars, one only has to access the Middle Arm trail on the dyke. Run west bound direction, and one passes the Richmond speed skating oval; run north bound and you'll see floating homes.
