Phoenix, AZ, January 19, 2015 (Newswire.com) - North Phoenix got a fresh addition to its hotel portfolio last week with the opening of the Radisson Hotel Phoenix North.

“Radisson Hotel Phoenix North is a testament to a strong partnership between the hotel’s owners,” said Robert Rauch, President and Founder of R.A.
