Galway Sees RED

Radisson RED Galway has opened its doors, making it the first property of the upscale brand in Ireland. 

Located in Galway’s newest neighbourhood Crown Square, a development between Monivea Road and Joyce’s Road and close to Galway’s city centre, Radisson RED incorporates art, music and fashion.

The new hotel has been developed by the Rhatigan Group, who have previously developed the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel & Spa and Dublin Royal Convention Centre in Dublin city centre, and designed by Dublin-based architects Henry J. Lyons.

The open-plan layout creates a flow between spaces, with shared areas that foster connection and interaction. Central to the space is an interactive bar, complemented by a lounge area and an outdoor south-facing terrace.

The 177 guestrooms and suites reflect the hotel’s signature aesthetic, where bold design meets functionality.

Radisson RED Galway introduces a series of advanced features that cater to the tech-savvy traveller. 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 placed throughout the hotel, and guest rooms are equipped with Chromecast technology.

The Claddagh Bar & Grill is located on the ground floor, while Lena’s Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is located on the top floor.

Padraic Rhatigan, principal 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 features nine meeting rooms spread across two floors, with over 400 square metres of meeting and event space. 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.
