The 147-room Radisson Blu Hotel in Leeds has unveiled a sophisticated new look and feel, which is the result of a £3.5m investment programme.
Work to completely upgrade the city centre hotel began in January and since then 72 guest bedrooms, meeting rooms, breakout areas, and public areas, have all been transformed.
The hotel’s ground floor space has also been completely remodelled, creating the new Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar – a stand-alone venue within the hotel.
“We are proud to unveil our new-look hotel, bar and restaurant. This is a significant investment and represents a marked change for the hotel. We are confident that this enhanced product offering and the new Fire Lake bar and restaurant concept, will help to reaffirm our position as one of this thriving city’s leading hotels” said Malcolm Rann, regional director, Radisson Blu Hotels, UK.
The Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar combines the mid-west traditions of open-flame cooking. As many dishes as possible are wood and flame-cooked, or wood-smoked. Food is from the local neighbourhood and often organic, cocktails are barrel-aged, and beers hand-crafted.
Meanwhile, the newly designed bedrooms offer guests two modern styles: Naturally Cool and Permanently Blu, and boast new carpets, curtains, soft furnishings, mood lighting and furniture. Media hubs include the latest in in-room technology.
The project has also seen the hotel’s meetings and events space restyled. All 10 meeting rooms now have a fresh, modern look, complete with feature walls and new audio and visual equipment. Guests and meeting delegates also benefit from upgraded Wi-Fi.
The refurbishment is being carried out in two phases, with the first phase, the largest and most significant; now complete. Phase two, which begins in January 2016, will complete the hotel’s transformation by refurbishing the remaining 75 guest bedrooms.
