The Europa Hotel undergoes £10m refurb

The Europa Hotel has undergone a £10m renovation of its bedrooms, which saw the complete redesign and upgrade of 100 front-facing superior bedrooms, 80 classic bedrooms and five suites.

The rooms now feature “stunning” new furnishings and bathrooms, automated window blinds and are individually air-conditioned. The hotel’s classic rooms have new King Cloud Bed and superior rooms have Super King Cloud Beds. 

The Europa Hotel, part of the Hastings Hotels portfolio, worked with local companies RPP Architects and Interiors and Floor Design to create the vision, while Graham Construction delivered the renovation programme. 

Andy McNeill, general manager of the Europa Hotel said: “We are delighted to unveil our latest renovation programme which has taken three years to complete and represents a £10m investment by Hastings Hotels. 

“The Europa is one of the world’s most famous hotels and whilst we have stayed true to our rich heritage, we have thoughtfully reimagined the design of our guest bedrooms to offer a new urban chic feel, which comes complete with bevelled mirrors and on-trend brushed brass. The Classic rooms also have a contemporary, deconstructed glass-panelled shower room with modesty curtain which elevates the modern look of the room.” 

He added: “The beautiful fabrics pay homage to Europa’s location in Belfast’s Linen Quarter and the textures and earthy tones help create a restful sleeping space. Soft geometrics and carpet design create a subtle backdrop to the rich, dark timber furniture with classic marble tops and the remote-control blinds mean that at the touch of a button, guests can lie in bed and enjoy the stunning city views.

“The Europa has been reborn and we are thrilled with the results. The feedback has been really positive from guests who have been enjoying the newly renovated rooms and we are confident that this new investment will ensure we continue to attract visitors from around the world as well as welcome guests from the domestic market.”
