The Park Inn by Radisson York has announced plans for a £1m investment, with work due to start shortly on the refurbishment of all 74 bedrooms in the hotel’s Garden Court.

The work, which commenced on the 21st November will take approximately four months to complete and will see the 74 guestrooms get a fresh and stylish new look. The full refurbishment of each bedroom includes new decor, furniture and soft furnishings in both the bedroom and bathroom.

Adrian Pickard, District Director Park Inn by Radisson UK said: “We are delighted to announce the next chapter of our substantial investment plans for the hotel. Upon completion of this work, our entire room stock will have been upgraded and will provide our guests with the full Park Inn by Radisson experience - offering a fresh and reliable place to stay at a good value for money rate.”

This latest upgrade and improvement work at the York hotel follows the previous phase which saw 126 guest bedrooms fully refurbished in 2009. The room refurbishment work will be carried out in stages, taking a floor by floor approach to ensure that the hotel operates as usual with a minimal level of disruption to guests.

The hotel York city centre is located alongside the River Ouse, just 5 minutes from York station and with easy access from major motorways, the Park Inn by Radisson York is superbly located for both business and leisure travellers.
