City centre hotel completes latest phase of £9m revamp

The latest phase of a £9m refurbishment programme has been completed at one of the largest hotels in York.

The Park Inn by Radisson York City Centre, which is located on the city’s riverside, has seen its ballroom and conference facilities upgraded, along with superfast broadband and video conferencing.

The hotel’s Henley Regatta Suite, which has capacity for up to 400 people, has undergone a full refit.

In addition, the hotel’s 12 flexible meeting rooms also have benefited from upgrades, including superfast broadband, video conferencing and new audio-visual technology as standard, as well as individual air conditioning and adjustable lighting.

Sally Hughes, the hotel’s general manager, said: “This investment not only shows how highly regarded we are here in York, but is also a huge investment in the city, which will see us become the next generation Park Inn – offering local businesses and visitors a truly world-class experience.

“The refurbishment of our bar and meeting area, with floor to ceiling windows giving guests unrivalled views of York, has attracted a lot of attention already. And so far, the reception to our updated facilities has been equally fantastic.”
