The first Radisson hotel in the north of England has opened in York. Radisson Hotel York is not only the first Radisson-branded hotel to open in the north of England but also the second to open in the UK, joining Radisson Hotel and Conference Centre London Heathrow.
Originally built in 1969, Radisson Hotel York is an eight-story city centre building that sits on the banks of the River Ouse and is the second tallest building in York.
The hotel features 200 guest rooms, offering a combination of business and leisure amenities. The renovation has introduced new flooring, furniture and soft furnishings as well as the addition of self-service check-in desks. There is also new décor, showcasing neutral tones and “sleek design” throughout the hotel.
The site also includes the Paddle Room restaurant, which offers sharing plates including mushroom arancini, salt and pepper squid and Yorkshire pudding. It also serves pub classics such as fish and chips as well as grazing boards, with multiple vegetarian and vegan options.
In addition, Radisson Hotel York offers a range of “flexible and versatile” meeting and function spaces to cater for a wide range of events, such as large conferences of up to 400 people, gala dinners, or training sessions, complete with a dedicated on-site meetings and events team.
Other hotel facilities include a gym and parking spaces for up to 51 cars. All guest rooms are fitted with Chromecast technology so guests can access their Netflix account and other streaming services.
Tom Flanagan Karttunen, area senior vice president for Radisson Hotel Group in Western and Northern Europe, said: “We’re thrilled to expand our UK portfolio with the opening of another Radisson-branded property and introduce the brand to the north of England, in the charming city of York. The hotel’s central location is an ideal setting from which to explore York’s rich and fascinating history.”
Dinesh Kunder, general manager of the hotel, added: “The hotel’s renovation brings an elevated offering for the local community as well as for the eight million plus visitors travelling to York for business and leisure every year. We are proud to offer a relaxing and calm environment for guests to unwind and enjoy our Scandinavian-inspired design combined with our warm and welcoming Yorkshire hospitality.”
