Ireland’s first Radisson RED opens in Galway

Radisson RED Galway has opened its doors, making it the first property of the bold, upscale brand in Ireland. Located in Galway’s newest neighborhood, Crown Square, an impressive development between Moniva Road and Joyce’s Road and close to Galway’s city center, Radisson RED incorporates art, music and fashion to create an unforgettable stay for guests, and is an excellent fit for this famously cultural city.

Developed by the Rhatigan Group – who have previously developed Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin, and Dublin Royal Convention Centre – and designed by renowned Dublin based architects Henry J Lyons, Radisson RED Galway offers an inviting atmosphere, blending upscale design with a fun, relaxed vibe. The open-plan layout creates a seamless flow between spaces, with thoughtfully designed shared areas that foster connection and interaction. Central to the space is an interactive bar, complemented by a cosy lounge area, perfect for unwinding or socializing. The colour palette is rich and sophisticated, featuring deep dark walnut tones, vibrant reds, and elegant brass highlights, while the antique mirror accents and brass rod feature staircase add an extra layer of character and charm. Outside, the property boasts a south-facing terrace, ideal for basking in a Galway suntrap throughout the day.

The 177 guest rooms and suites reflect the hotel’s signature aesthetic, where bold design meets functionality. Each room has a playful yet sophisticated approach, featuring vibrant colour palettes, chic furnishings, and striking artwork. It offers an immersive experience with cutting-edge technology and unique touches that speak to Galway’s rich cultural heritage. The rooms are designed for both relaxation and productivity, featuring large windows that let natural light fill the space.

Padraic Rhatigan, Principle of the Rhatigan Group, says, “We are proud to be bringing this new, high-quality destination hotel to our home city of Galway. Radisson RED is a great fit for our city, and we are looking forward to revealing the standout design and sophisticated offering in Galway.”

Radisson RED Galway introduces a series of advanced features that cater to the tech-savvy traveler. Guests can enjoy seamless check-in and check-out through kiosks, allowing for a smooth arrival and a fast departure. In addition, wireless charging points are strategically placed throughout the hotel and guest rooms are equipped with Chrome Cast technology.

The Claddagh Bar & Grill is Radisson RED Galway’s dynamic, modern restaurant, located on the ground floor. It is a relaxed space, offering a stylish dining experience with a focus on Irish ingredients. Subtle symbols of Irish heritage, like Claddagh symbols and wooden accents, connect the design to Galway’s rich culture. The space is open plan with cozy corners and large tables for group dining, and is ideal for enjoying delicious food or cocktails in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting. 

Lena’s Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is located on the hotel’s top floor and seats 140 guests, with panoramic views of Galway Bay and the city. It serves signature cocktails, including Lena’s Rose, and a traditional Irish menu with a modern twist. The chefs take great pride in sourcing the best-possible local produce to provide guests with a taste of true Irish hospitality and flavors. It is a restaurant perfect for date nights, Sunday lunch with the family, tourists, and passers-by.

Tom Flanagan Karttunen, Area Senior Vice President Northern & Western Europe at Radisson Hotel Group, adds, “Opening the first ever Radisson RED property in Ireland is a monumental occasion, and I could not be prouder that it’s located in Galway, which happens to be my hometown. The property perfectly marries the bold vibrance of the brand’s design with the culture and heritage of the city, and it is an ideal choice for business and leisure guests alike.”

Radisson RED Galway features nine versatile meeting rooms spread across two floors, with over 400 square metres of meeting and event space. Blending contemporary design with state-of-the-art technology, the property provides the perfect setting for a wide range of events, from corporate meetings to creative workshops and social gatherings. On the ground floor, a private meeting room provides a focused environment for small reunions, while the adjacent Writers Room is a semi-private networking space designed to encourage social interaction and creativity. With its inviting atmosphere and stylish décor, this space is ideal for informal meetings, where guests can relax, engage, and connect over coffee or light refreshments.

The lower ground floor is home to the Tribe Suite, a spacious and versatile room that can cater to up to 220 guests in a theatre-style setting, perfect for a large conference, presentation, or seminar. With its expansive size and audiovisual facilities, the suite ensures your event will be both impactful and memorable.
