Cliste Hospitality, in partnership with Warren Private, has acquired the former Radisson Blu Hotel in Belfast.
The hotel will undergo a £3.5m refurbishment over the next nine months and be temporarily rebranded as The Gasworks Hotel.
The refurbishment will include upgrades to the reception, bar, restaurant, conference facilities, and guest bedrooms.
After the refurbishment, The Gasworks Hotel will join the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) as part of its voco brands.
Cliste Hospitality currently operates 13 hotels under The iNUA Collection brand in Ireland.
All current employees will have the opportunity to continue working with the business, and all existing room reservations and events will be honoured.
Paul Fitzgerald, CEO of Cliste Hospitality said: “we are keen to become a significant part of the community in Belfast city. Working closely with the very experienced, long-serving employees at the hotel.”
David Kelleher of Warren Private said: “We look forward to the refurbishment and rebranding of the hotel as The Gasworks Hotel, Belfast, and to continuing our support of Cliste Hospitality in its expansion plans.”
The Gasworks Hotel, formerly Radisson Blu Hotel, Belfast, is located in the historic Gasworks district of Belfast, just off the Ormeau Road. With 120 bedrooms, a bar, restaurant and extensive conference facilities, the hotel is within walking distance of Belfast city centre and suited for both business and leisure guests.
