Olivia, you've got my vote to keep the lyre logo. If they seriously believe there's a downside to having tacked Radisson onto Seven Seas, go back Seven Seas.

If Carlson Companies is concerned about their return on investment on RSSC, why wouldn't Regent be of greater concern? At present, nine Regent properties exist worldwide. How can you make an adequate return on a nine-property hotel group that requires global management skill? Let alone retain top employees to meet the expectations of luxury hotel guests? Add to it the tremendous interest right now in hotel properties for private equity firms or a larger luxury group like Peninsula or Shangri-La. Next thing you know Carlton will receive the proverbial offer they can't refuse for the Regent properties and/or property management contracts. Then what??

Cheers, Anne
