To celebrate the release of �Sherlock Holmes�(1), the hit film starring Robert Downey Jr. as Britain�s most famous sleuth and currently in theatres across the UK, Radisson Edwardian hotels have joined forces with Visit Britain to invite tourists to discover the �paths trodden� by the legendary detective and, more recently, the film�s director, Guy Ritchie.

With the Radisson Edwardian�s 11 enviable addresses in central London and one in Manchester, it comes as no surprise that Sir Conan Doyle and Mr Ritchie�s choices of locations cross paths with the luxury Radisson Edwardian hotel group on a number of occasions--from 221B Baker Street, home to the Sherlock Holmes Museum (see: Radisson Edwardian Grafton ,) to Manchester Town Hall (see: Radisson Edwardian Manchester Free Trade Hall Hotel ), which provided a suitably grand alternative to the real Houses of Parliament in the new movie.

Radisson Edwardian is offering a special Sherlock Holmes experience from 26 December 2009 to 25th February 2010 for guests looking to follow in the footsteps of the iconic character. To make a booking or find out more visit http://www.radissonedwardian.com/sherlockholmes

From just �140 per room per night(2) London guests can enjoy a weekend(3) night�s stay, breakfast, 2 cinema tickets - to watch the latest blockbuster - 2 for 1 dining and a Sherlock Holmes Walking Book for them to discover the delights of London for themselves.

For visitors to the UK�s second city, the Radisson Edwardian Manchester Free Trade Hall hotel is offering a night�s stay, breakfast, 2 cinema tickets, and a Manchester guided tour(4) from �169 per room, per night.
