East Yorkshire hotel plans announced
RADISSON Blu has announced its plans to open a new hotel in Hull.
The hotel, to be based along the shores of the River Hull, will feature 168 rooms and will be developed by Hull’s Manor Property Group.
Wolfgang Neumann, president and CEO of Carlson Rezidor, Radisson Blu’s parent group, said: “The United Kingdom is a key mature market for us, and we are delighted to bring our core brand Radisson Blu to Hull, which will be the UK’s “City of Culture” in 2017.”
The hotel is scheduled to open in late 2016 and is part of the Manor Mill mixed-use development which will also feature a 23-floor residential tower, student homes, a 5,000 sq m casino, and a plaza with restaurants and bars.
Mark Bailey, hotel development director for Manor Property Group, said: “We are delighted to be working with Rezidor in bringing a Radisson Blu to Hull – an upper upscale hotel is much needed within the city and will make a significant contribution to raising Hull’s hospitality profile.
“The Radisson Blu completes the jigsaw for Manor’s prestigious East Bank multi-use development Manor Mill, enabling work to commence shortly. The exceptional facilities which will be provided by the development are timed to be open prior to Hull’s tenure as UK City of Culture 2017.”
