Question
It's been 6 years since my last visit to Grand Cayman. At the time there was a hotel called The Radisson. I'm trying to find out if that hotel is still in existence. Do you know if they changed their name? Do you know anything about the hotel? I ended up staying there for one night because our reservation at Treasure Island was given away.

I am trying to organize a trip this winter to return to Grand Cayman and would like to stay at The Radisson if possible.

I appreciate your assistance.

It is now the Marriott.

You may want to consider changing hotels as the Marriott has very little beach.  Every time there is a hurricane season, it gets washed away.  The hotel has recently placed reef-balls to try to hold the sand back inplace, and this seems to be working, but if you want a decent stretch of Seven Mile Beach, then consider the Westin instead.

The new Holiday Inn is now open, but the hotel is across the main road from the beach.
