The Carlson Rezidor Group, one of the worlds largest hotel groups, is to add another UK hotel to its portfolio with a 168-room Radisson Blu hotel in Kingston Upon Hull.
In a joint venture with developer Manor Property Group, the purpose built property is scheduled to open in late 2016 and will benefit from 168 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a lobby bar and café, a health club and 750sq m of meeting space and underground parking.
The hotel will also form part of the Manor Mill mixed-use development which will also feature a 23-floor residential tower, student homes, a 5000m² casino, and a plaza with restaurants and bars
It takes Carlson Rezidor’s UK & Ireland portfolio to 51 hotels in operation and under development.
Commenting on the announcement, Wolfgang M. Neumann, president and chief executive of Rezidor added: “The UK is a key mature market for us, and we are delighted to bring our core brand Radisson Blu to Kingston upon Hull which will be the UK’s City of Culture in 2017.”
