Hastings Hotels has completed a £15m renovation programme at the Europa Hotel in Belfast.
Over the past several years, the “extensive” renovation project saw upgrades to all 272 guest bedrooms, as well as improvements to The Lobby Bar, the Piano Restaurant, all conference rooms and the penthouse function room. Hastings has also introduced a brand new workspace area for guests.
Also included was the addition of a painting titled ‘The ’71’, crafted by local artist Colin Davidson.
According to the group, the renovation programme for the 1970s hotel “aimed not only to modernise its facilities but also to preserve its rich history”. The interior designer team worked very closely with the architectural team all through RPP Architects.
James McGinn, managing director of Hastings Hotels said: “We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our extensive renovation program at The Europa Hotel. This transformative project encompasses a comprehensive redesign of all guest rooms, the introduction of state-of-the-art workspaces, and significant upgrades to our food and beverage offerings. The Europa has never looked better, and we are genuinely delighted to unveil these stunning enhancements to our valued guests.
“At Hastings Hotels, our commitment to excellence extends beyond mere aesthetics. We are deeply dedicated to investing in our properties and our team to ensure that we maintain our position as one of the world’s most renowned and award-winning hotels. Our unwavering dedication to hospitality and our steadfast pursuit of perfection are the cornerstones of our continued success, and we look forward to welcoming guests to experience the exceptional quality and service that define The Europa Hotel.”
Harry McConnell, Director of RPP Architects added: “It has been a tremendous honour to lead the design and architecture work on the renovation of the iconic Europa Hotel. Our team is incredibly proud to have played a part in preserving the hotel’s rich history while introducing modern enhancements that elevate the guest experience.
“From reimagining the guest bedrooms to revitalising the public spaces, every aspect of our design reflects a deep appreciation for the Europa’s legacy and a commitment to excellence in hospitality. We are delighted to see the transformation come to fruition and look forward to seeing the hotel welcome guests to experience the new era of the Europa Hotel.”
