Radisson Hotel Expands in UK with First Radisson Brand in York

The first Radisson hotel in the North of England has opened its doors in York. Previously known as Park Inn by Radisson York City Centre, the riverside property has undergone an impressive transformation to become Radisson Hotel York.

Radisson Hotel York is the first Radisson-branded hotel to open in the north of England and the second in the UK, joining Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow.

Originally built in 1969, Radisson Hotel York  is an eight-story city center building that sits on the banks of the River Ouse and is the second tallest building in York, offering unrivalled views of the city.

The hotel features 200 welcoming guest rooms, offering a combination of business and leisure amenities to ensure guests feel at home.

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, reflecting the Radisson brand’s Scandinavian roots.

The Paddle Room restaurant is a nod to the history of its location, where boats once passed exchanging goods, all powered by hand or paddles. Roman jetties, wharves, and warehouses have all been uncovered on banks of the River Ouse.

A welcoming and cozy restaurant, The Paddle Room offers sharing plates including mushroom arancini, salt & pepper squid and, a local classic, Yorkshire pudding. It also serves pub classics such as fish and chips as well as grazing boards, with multiple vegetarian and vegan options.

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 for residents 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.
