Radisson Hotel Group Opens Manchester's First Radisson-Branded Hotel and Company's First Verified Net Zero Hotel
Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, has opened its doors, bringing a fresh addition to the city's hotel offering and delivering a stylish stay in an unrivalled central location. It is Radisson Hotel Group's first hotel to open that has achieved Verified Net Zero status, achieving 2040 requirements of the Net Zero Methodology for Hotels today. Following an extensive refurbishment, Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, brings an upgraded hospitality experience, located just steps from the AO Arena and Manchester Victoria train station. The hotel provides the perfect location for those visiting the renowned arena - a leading music, events and entertainment venue - either as a place to enjoy a sustainable stay or somewhere to enjoy dinner and drinks before heading to a show. The neighboring Manchester Victoria station has connections both locally across the Greater Manchester region and nationally. Calming influence through design The clean and modern Scandinavian-inspired design of Radisson is ready to be experienced in all 252 guest rooms and suites, providing balance, wellbeing and a calming environment, featuring neutral tones and natural design elements. A welcoming bar and restaurant offers guests a variety of dishes and an outdoor terrace, ensuring a memorable stay for both leisure and business visitors. The hotel is tailored for groups and family get-togethers, with rooms featuring two double beds as well as open-plan spaces for relaxing and socializing. Guests can unwind in the tranquil spa, with a range of beauty treatments on offer as well as enjoying the heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym. Additionally, the hotel is the perfect venue for a wide range of meetings or celebrations, boasting state-of-the-art event facilities with capacity for up to 220 attendees. Leading the way with Net Zero operations With the launch of two Verified Net Zero Hotels, Radisson Hotel Group is setting the gold standard for sustainable hospitality. The other hotel is Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, opening in July. The Verified Net Zero program is comprehensive and includes the carbon footprint from energy use (Scopes 1 & 2 as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol or GHG), as well as the hotel's operational and supply chain footprint (Scope 3). Actions include the use of 100% renewable energy, achieved through electrification of hotels and/or by the purchase of 100% renewable energy for all hotel functions from heating, cooling, hot water to cooking and spa & pool facilities. Next to overhauling operations to minimize waste, re-evaluating supply chains with a focus on Food & Beverage, and other sources of emissions such as hotel related transportation to minimize emissions. All remaining emissions are compensated using Nature Based carbon credits from carbon removal in partnership with Agreena, the largest soil carbon program in Europe, supporting over 2,300 farmers to regenerate more than 4.5 million hectares of European farmland. The opportunity to stay at a Verified Net Zero property allows guests to become part of a forward-thinking movement that combines comfort and innovation with sustainability. Verified Net Zero properties do this through three key features: 100% renewable energy, low-carbon menus, and by being a minimal waste hotel. Radisson Hotel Group's Verified Net Zero properties give guests the unique opportunity to stay in a hotel knowing their stay has a net-zero carbon footprint. Renewable energy and low carbon menus Using 100% renewable energy sources means that Verified Net Zero hotels do not depend on using environmentally damaging fossil fuels for heating, cooling, hot water, and cooking. The Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, has installed heat pumps to generate hot water. Together with a fully electrified kitchen using induction cooking, the hotel is fully eliminating gas use. Because the hotel buys 100% renewable electricity, none of the electricity used at the hotel comes from fossil fuels. Radisson Hotel Group partnered with Klimato - a specialized partner from Sweden - to develop low-carbon menus by analyzing the entire food offering for in-room dining menus, M&E menus and the breakfast buffet, curating recipes to lower their overall carbon footprint. Guests are informed by clear labels, ranking recipes' carbon footprints from A (best) to E (worst). Menus focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients while reducing recipe carbon footprints by up to 40%, without compromising on taste. New measures are in place to minimize waste based on the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle principles. Guests can rest assured a maximum of the waste will be avoided or recycled, and none of the waste goes to landfill. Impressive location Within a few minutes' walk of the Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, sits the city's finest shopping, cultural and leisure destinations, including Selfridges, Corn Exchange Manchester, Manchester Cathedral & the National Football Museum. The property complements Radisson Hotel Group's existing portfolio in Manchester, which includes Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport and The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel.
