Visit To The Park Inn By Radisson York

I recently took a trip to the Park Inn by Radisson York which is located on the banks of the River Ouse within a short walk of the centre of York.  

This modern hotel offers excellent conferencing facilities for up to 400 delegates and makes a great place to stay for leisure. The hotel has 13 meeting rooms, the largest being the Henley Suite which takes 300 people in theatre style, 160 cabaret style or 200 for a dinner. The adjacent room, the Regatta Suite, can be used in conjunction with the Henley to boost conference numbers or for private registration, refreshments and exhibition space.  Alternatively the Regatta Suite, which directly overlooks the river, provides a lovely location for dinners up to 60 guests. The bedrooms, some with views over the river, are modern with bright contemporary colours.  Similar in style the RGB Grill & Bar, with a mixture of high and low comfortable seating, also overlooks the river and is the hub of the hotel with Costa Coffee and refreshments served all day. A large proportion of the hotel’s meeting space is currently undergoing refurbishment and this is expected to be finished at the end of June 2015.

Historic Views, Modern Meetings – Park Inn By Radisson – York


We could not see the conference centre due to the current work, but without seeing the finished property I have no doubts it will only add to the hotels arsenal of facilities suitable for any meeting type and event.


However York seems to have pulled off the great combination of protecting its historic values while also catering for the 21st century in all aspects.With many hotels now in the city the Park Inn has taken its meeting space and facilities to 2015 and beyond.  Located on the banks of the river Ouse the location and scenery could not be any better. The hotel boasts many meeting rooms with plenty of daylight and space. They are currently refurbishing the conference centre which is planned to be completed this June.

Trinity’s Paul Barke had the pleasure of attending a fam trip on behalf of Park Inn by Radisson in York at the beginning of May. It must be common knowledge that York is one of the most visually eye pleasing destinations in the UK. Rich in history there is almost endless facts to discover about this gem in the North. Even I, having a keen interest in history was educated on many more facts and events provided by our city tour guide.Fast forward to the modern day and you would think people’s perception of York would be that the city has frozen in time in terms of way of life and architecture (don’t worry this is still abundant in most areas – thankfully).

Hensol Castle Reopens As Conference Venue

The 400 year old  17th-century castle has original architecture, turrets, gothic towers and feature staircases, and its restoration is being completed in close association with the Vale of Glamorgan Council and CADW, the Welsh Government’s body responsible for preserving Welsh heritage. The former stately home is situated six miles outside of Cardiff city centre and three minutes off junction 34 of the M4, and is set within landscaped gardens with a 15-acre lake and serpentine pond. Hensol Castle can be hired exclusively which means you can conduct your meeting or event in complete privacy.

As part of the Vale Resort, the Hall is in the same grounds as the four star hotel which includes 143 bedrooms, 2 championship golf courses, Wales largest spa and their award winning dinning sporting facilities.

The stunning Hensol Castle, located within the grounds of the Vale Resort, has just completed a £10 million revamp, the first phase of which introduces conference facilities in the new purpose-built Courtyard Hall. The Courtyard Hall is capable of hosting 320 delegate’s theatre-style and 200 delegates banquet-style. The facilities at Courtyard Hall will be complemented by five smaller meeting rooms in the castle itself that can host between 10-100 delegates per room theatre-style. The Courtyard Hall has been designed to be energy efficient with heat-retaining and heat-reflective glass, low energy lighting and a natural grass and wildflower roof.

Pestana To Manage Luxury Hotel In Madrid’S Plaza Mayor

The Portuguese chain, currently in the process of internationalising the brand in Europe, will be operating the luxury hotel in Plaza Mayor for at least 40 years.

Casa de la Carnicería stands in the centre of the south side of Madrid’s iconic square, Plaza Mayor. The four-storey building is topped by angular towers on the sides, a gabled top floor and an arcaded ground floor. It is very similar to Casa de la Panadería, just opposite, although the latter’s walls are decorated with frescoes, whereas the walls of Casa de la Carnicería are red. Nobody knows exactly how far back the original building dates, but it is thought that it was rebuilt in 1631 after a fire.

Hotel group Pestana has submitted the best financial proposal for the competition for awarding the contract for managing the future 5-star hotel based in Casa de la Carnicería, owned by Madrid City Council and situated in Plaza Mayor.
