Mongolia gains a Radisson Blu

ULAANBAATAR may not be familiar to all our readers, but it is the capital of the Republic of Mongolia.  Work has now started on a purpose-built Radisson Blu hotel due to open in the first quarter of 2011.  Effectively the centre of the city, 200m from Sukhbaatar Square and Peace Avenue, the property is adjacent to (and the rooms look down on) the 100-year old Choijin Lama Temple which features the 18th Century gold-covered statue of Buddha Shayaryamuni; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Opera House; and the Museum of Natural History.  In addition to the 175 guest rooms, it will feature three restaurants (including a Paulaner micro brewery), a wellness centre and 1,500 square metres of conference and meeting space. www.radissonblu.com
