Radisson RED Galway has officially opened within the Crown Square development, minutes from Galway’s city centre. It is the first Radisson Red in Ireland and incorporates art, music and fashion.
The 177 guestrooms and suites aim to reflect the hotel’s signature aesthetic, where bold design meets functionality. Each room features vibrant colour palettes, chic furnishings, and artwork. The rooms are designed for both relaxation and productivity, featuring large windows that let natural light fill the space.
“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,” said Padraic Rhatigan, principal of the Rhatigan Group.
Developed by the Rhatigan Group and designed by Dublin-based architects Henry J Lyons, the hotel aims to offer an immersive experience with cutting-edge technology, as well as unique touches that speak to the region’s rich cultural heritage.
Radisson RED Galway features nine 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 a 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.
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.
In addition to the Tribe Suite, the lower ground floor features three boardrooms and two large breakout event spaces, providing options for networking sessions, workshops, or casual events. The space is equipped with a private bar, and booth seating allows guests a comfortable space to collaborate or take an informal break.
The Claddagh Bar & Grill is located on the ground floor. It is a relaxed space, offering a stylish dining experience with a focus on Irish ingredients. The space is open plan, with cosy corners and large tables for group dining.
