  Couple of other flash sales in play at the moment – Accor, 20% off (plus 10% as ALL member), book by tomorrow, minimum 3 night stay; and IHG 23% off for members, again book by tomorrow, valid for hotels in UK, Europe and the Maldives (random) until the end of the year.

  Glad to see Virgin offering different redemption options. If it was 12 bottles instead of 8 I would be a buyer!

  Ah the Viking hotel in its original nomenclature. A real missed opportunity for the Irish republicans mainland campaign in my view. How I wish that eyesore would go

    You should be ashamed of yourself. What a disgusting remark.

  I have never understood what the Radisson brand should stand for either. I *think* that it should be lower-end than Radisson Blu?

    It seems to date from the days when SAS used to part own the company that ran Radisson in EMEA. The hotels that were Radisson SAS became Radisson Blu a while after the airline no longer had anything to do with the hotels

      Yes, that’s correct. But it doesn’t explain why the Radisson (as opposed to Radisson Blu) brand is now – very occasionally – turning up.

  I’ve been in the Radisson York a couple of times in the last 6 months; the public areas at least. They’re certainly an upgrade but something of a missed opportunity as they’re extremely bland with a lot of greyness.. Food is mediocre but the Whippet Inn is literally across the road and excellent. Still if the price is good you could do a lot worse – can’t argue with the location and the view is maybe the best river view in York … because it DOESN’T feature the ugliest building in York as you’re looking out from inside of it.
  The main disappointment about the refurb is that it presumably delays the day this monstrosity – plonked on the river view of maybe England’s most beautiful city – is demolished. How it ever got approved? You really could build anything in the 60s no matter how ugly and inappropriate.

    I came here to write almost exactly this, so thanks for saving me the time! I shake my head every single time I cross the river at how the building was ever approved. I assume the brown paper envelope was extremely thick!

      I’ve just popped in to say, Chester is my most beautiful city in England’s green and pleasant land.

        let me correct your typo
        “I’ve just popped in to say, York is my most beautiful city in England’s green and pleasant land.”

    Some will say brutalist architecture is beautiful
