One of several hotels built for the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Radisson Blu Resort sits a short distance from the former Olympic Park on the Adler coastline. Rooms are spacious and boast good views of either the Caucasus mountains or the Black Sea. It's pricey, but bargains are available off-season.
