Ramada Plaza unveils £500k upgrade

Belfast hotel group, Andras Hotels, has unveiled a £500K upgrade in the conferencing and banqueting suites of its flagship property, The Ramada Plaza.

More than 150 guests were treated to a sumptuous five-course meal with entertainment from world-renowned mentalist, David Meade in the newly refurbished Malone Suite.

The finished project, which was supported by Danske Bank and designed by multi-award winning interior designer, Philip Rodgers, boasts a major upgrade of the hotel bar and conference centre. The contemporary finish in neutral colours gives a new modern vibe to one of the city’s longest-running hotels.

The work completes stage four of the five-stage plan for the venue, which recently benefitted from a £1m refurbishment, which included a complete transformation of its Grand Ballroom, lobby and Laganview Suite.

Rajesh Rana, director of Andras Hotels says he’s thrilled with the next stage of the hotels’ development: “This refurbishment has been design-led, with designers Philip Rodgers providing a unique look that features handmade fittings and bespoke items of furniture and lighting that will ensure that the Ramada Plaza is offering customers the very best it can and compliments the rest of the hotel’s exceptional standard of interiors,” he adds.

Located at Shaw’s Bridge the Ramada Plaza is Belfast’s largest conference facility with 21 separate suites and one of the leading events and banqueting venues in Northern Ireland. All meeting rooms in the second floor conference centre and the conference reception area have been renovated with work carried out by local designers and contractors.

The hotel offers facilities for events hosting up to 900 guests and provides clients with the use of the latest technology, luxury meeting rooms, private dining areas and executive lounges.

Andras Hotels, Belfast’s largest Hotelier now has five branded hotels in the city with the new Hampton by Hilton Hotel on the way in 2017.
