The 147-bedroom Radisson Blu Hotel in Leeds has just completed a £3.5million refurbishment programme. The work which started back in January has upgraded 72 bedrooms, the meeting rooms and breakout areas plus the hotel's public areas.

The ground floor space at Radisson Blu Hotel Leeds has been completely remodelled with a new Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar - a U.S. concept and the first of its kind in the UK. Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar is a stand-alone venue within the hotel.

The newly designed bedrooms have new carpets, curtains, soft furnishings and mood lighting. Media hubs have also been added.

All ten meeting rooms at Radisson Blu Hotel Leeds now have a fresh, modern look, complete with feature walls, additional sky-like lighting and new audio and visual equipment. Wi-fi connections have been upgraded to deliver fast and free connections.

Phase two of the refurbishment will begin in January 2016 and this will see the refurbishment of the remaining 75 bedrooms.

Radisson Blu Hotel in Leeds is located within The Light entertainment and shopping plaza in the centre of Leeds on The Headrow, a five minute walk from Leeds station.
