​Radisson Renovation Project Complete

MANCHESTER, NH – The Radisson Hotel Manchester has hosted presidential candidates, network news outlets, local dignitaries, rock stars and hundreds of events over three decades, and is now celebrating another milestone - the completion of a 10-year, $2.2 million long-term renovation project highlighted by a completely redesigned and refinished ballroom and function space, according to a press statement. The 65,000-square-foot, 248-room hotel and conference center, located in the heart of downtown Manchester, has undergone extensive room and function space renovations, including high-tech upgrades, enhanced culinary capabilities, and a renovated 12th floor which now features Manhattan-style, luxury suites. A VIP grand opening celebration is scheduled for April 12 to officially commemorate improvements.

“Our investment in the Radisson Hotel Manchester reinforces its status as an economic hub for southern New Hampshire, and as a centerpiece of downtown Manchester,” said Louis Vinios, of JPA Management, which owns the Radisson Hotel Manchester. “We are proud to showcase our investment in the Radisson Hotel Manchester, which combines fantastic dining, upscale, state-of-the-art accommodations and amenities, a perfect location, and unmatched function capabilities.”

The transformation began in 2009, with the replacement of every window in the hotel. Since then, JPA Management has renovated rooms, bathrooms, and hallways throughout the facility, along with the recent ballroom redesign. New rooms, including 12th floor Manhattan-style suites, include special features, such as iPhone docking stations, ultra-high-definition televisions, wet bars, laptop safes, and robes and slippers. JPA Management worked with the Bedford-based architecture firm, Stibler Associates, to produce the design plan.

As part of the project, JPA Management performed strategic improvements to conference and meeting space, installing state-of-the-art teleconferencing capabilities and writable walls designed for collaborating in its Coolidge executive-style boardroom. Renovations also include local touches, including a partnership with the New Hampshire Institute of Art, which is providing artwork throughout the hotel for display. In addition, the Radisson Hotel Manchester, which features an outdoor pool deck and bar, as well as a full-service spa, “The Spa Within,” opened a coffee shop this month called the Daily Brew, which proudly serves Starbucks coffee.

JPA Management has plans for more enhancements, including renovating the lobby and mezzanine, along with installing new mattresses, furniture and window treatments in all guest rooms.
