Every moment matters at Radisson

When it comes to the Radisson experience in Northern Ireland, there are two hotels in Belfast to choose from

-

RADISSON BLU HOTEL, BELFAST

If you want a quiet place to escape from the bustle of the nearby city centre, but would still like to be centrally located, then Radisson Blu Hotel, Belfast ticks all the boxes. Situated in the Gasworks business area, the hotel combines a tranquil waterside setting with easy access to Belfast city centre. “With both of our hotels here in Belfast, we have seen an increase in guests from the southern market, particular­ly with families at Radisson Blu,” says Danielle McGinley, City Director of Sales and Marketing at Radisson Blu Hotel and Park Inn by Radisson Belfast. “We offer a variety of rooms ranging from standard to business class, then Junior and Tower suites which are more spacious. And, not forgetting the Presidenti­al suite for a truly luxurious stay! Family and accessible rooms are also available.” Danielle says the Radisson Blu is a perfect location for families, as there are activities close to the hotel for all. “The Ulster Museum and Botanic Gardens are within walking distance of the hotel, and the famous Titanic Museum is easily reachable using public transport. Golf lovers can tee off at one of the many golf courses nearby. The hotel is easily accessible to all main road and train links.” Radisson Blu also has on-site car parking, which is provided on a compliment­ary basis to all guests at the weekend. Danielle adds, “If you’re staying at the Radisson Blu, I would highly recommend renting a Belfast bike, which is right at the door of the hotel. Journey along the picturesqu­e Lagan towpath, then return to Radisson Blu Gasworks Restaurant for a bite of lunch on the waterfront.” At The Gasworks Restaurant, there are many delicious dishes with local ingredient­s to choose from. Start your day right with the Super Buffet Breakfast, which includes fresh, local ingredient­s to give your body the nourishmen­t it needs for a full day of exploring. For dinner, there are grilled dishes such as Prime Beef Steak served with Mushrooms, Grilled Vine Tomatoes and a choice of sauce; to fish dishes such as Beer Battered Haddock from Belfast’s Harbour, Fries, Peas and Tartar Sauce. “Then, you should unwind with a refreshing drink at The Gasworks Bar and Café!” says Danielle. Price from £99 for one-night B&B, two sharing. For more informatio­n or to book, visit www.radissonbl­u.com/en/hotel-belfast or call +44 (0)28 9043 4065

PARK INN BY RADISSON

Right in the heart of Belfast city centre, lies Park Inn by Radisson. So, if you want to be a little bit closer to all the action, then this is where to stay! “The Park Inn by Radisson has 145 guest rooms which cater for everyone,” says Danielle. “However, we have seen a lot of city-breakers choose to stay in Park Inn by Radisson. As with Radisson Blu, the overall feedback we receive from guests is that they were delighted with the proximity to the city centre and how easy it is to explore the sights. “If you’re staying in Park Inn by Radisson, I’d recommend visiting St George’s market nearby. It has fantastic Sunday morning activity and provides some great live music entertainm­ent and the best of our local seafood and culinary talents. There’s also arts, crafts, photograph­y and antiques.” For those who want to maintain their fitness during their trip, Park Inn by Radisson also has leisure facilities which are provided on a compliment­ary basis. The on-site leisure centre boasts a Fit Pit gym with cardio and resistance-training equipment, as well as personal trainers. There’s also a sauna and steam room, the perfect way to unwind after meetings or sightseein­g. Food-wise, Park Inn by Radisson’s healthy and colourful breakfast menu has something to suit everyone’s tastebuds. There’s also the option to ‘Grab & Go’ if you’re in a rush. The RBG Bar & Grill at Park Inn by Radisson showcases some fantastic bar grill dining options indoor or al fresco. Choose from pork loin, lamb chump, duck breast, hake fillet or whole spatchcock. “There are also plans in the pipeline for RBG to have some revived entertainm­ent offering from May onwards,” says Danielle. “Staff go the extra mile to ensure our guests leave happy and have the Radisson Blu or Park Inn by Radisson at the forefront of their mind for their next trip to Belfast. “The ‘Yes I Can’ service philosophy at both hotels, which is a standard across both brands, ensures we meet and exceed all guest expectatio­ns. We also have a fantastic Club Carlson loyalty programme, where you can earn points to be redeemed against pre-paid credit cards, retail vouchers of some of the biggest names on the high street, as well as airline miles and future hotel stays. “Every moment matters to our guests and that is the ethos our teams work with. We are here to make your every moment matter when you’re at our hotels.” Prices from £89 B&B for a standard room at Park Inn by Radisson (one night, two people sharing).
