Frommer's Review

You can expect all the amenities of an exclusive business hotel here, but compared to modern, sexy Hotel Europa , it feels more like a comfortable old shoe. The lobby looks fantastic but the rooms are disappointing. The Radisson's rooms do have enough space for two double beds, a large dresser, and two chairs, but its decor is very dated and there are perpetual problems with temperature control -- either too cold or too stuffy. Huge picture windows used to offer great views of the city but unfortunately a high-rise went up right in front and ruined it for many. The sleek Aransaya Restaurant, which has outstanding views, looks like it was airlifted here from New York City and is undoubtedly the hotel's best asset. This is also one of the only hotels in La Paz that offers a free airport shuttle. Be sure to ask for the "Super Saver" rates that sometimes shave almost 30% off the regular prices, or check the website for deals.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; small indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; activities desk; large business center; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive floor

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
