Radisson Blu Glasgow has unveiled almost 250 completely renovated bedrooms as part of a £15m refurbishment project.
Beginning in January 2023, over the course of eight months the team “carefully curated” a new look for the hotel.
As part of the large-scale investment in the hotel, Radisson Blu Glasgow appointed designer Marie Soliman, founder of revered Bergman Design House in London, to develop a design which “reflects the luxurious offering of the hotel”.
Soliman said: “Radisson Blu Hotel Glasgow has not only become a cherished part of Glasgow’s landscape but has also left an indelible mark on every guest fortunate enough to experience its unique blend of urban vitality. This is exactly what we envisioned with the new design – spaces and artwork which started conversations, took all the rugged beauty of Scotland, rain included, and transformed it into a truly desirable lifestyle hotel.”
The team at Radisson Blu Glasgow also approached local luxury wallpaper and fabric company, Timorous Beasties, to create a bespoke wallpaper for its boutique-style bedrooms.
Together with the new design, the hotel has increased its offering by creating a luxurious two to three bed apartment, complete with lounge and separate dining area, as well as introducing new family rooms which offer a combination of double and bunk beds, catering for all ages. Children staying at the hotel will also be given their own Radisson Blu Glasgow welcome pack.
Radisson Blu Glasgow provides one of the largest capacities for events and residential groups in Glasgow, with 15 meeting rooms and halls capable of hosting 800 people.
Hina Rubbani-Mills, general manager of Radisson Blu Glasgow, said: “It is a hugely exciting time for the team as we embark on this new chapter for Radisson Blu Glasgow. The result of the refurbished rooms is exactly what we set out to achieve; chic, worldly and welcoming, perfect for all types of travellers coming to visit us. What a pleasure to work alongside experienced teams like Bergman, and local legends Timorous Beasties on the design.
“Over the last eight months we’ve poured our heart and soul into the redesign of the hotel, and we can’t wait to welcome visitors from near and far to make the most of our stunning spaces. Whether it’s a city break, business travel or a family staycation, our friendly team are ready and waiting to welcome you and ensure you have the best possible stay.”
