Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Sligo

This relatively new hotel is not especially attractive from the road but, once inside the door, it’s a different story as it has a lovely light and appealing atmosphere, a huge welcoming flower arrangement in the large foyer, and staff who are keen to make guests feel at home.



Simple lines and classy contemporary decor in warm tones create a pleasing ambience, without distracting from the hotel’s great attraction - the views over Sligo Bay. Weddings blessings are not possible here but there is a romantically located church at Rosses Point, just three miles away, and there are excellent photo opportunities there as well (including a lovely beach).



An events co-ordinator has two meetings with couples, to choose menus and other details connected with the reception, but the hotel does not undertake extras like transport arrangements or entertainment - including any special welcome, such as a piper, as well as the DJ or band - so everything outside the immediate event is the responsibility of the bride and groom.



The reception is a sit down meal held in the ballroom or a smaller function room, depending on the numbers attending; there are no midweek reductions but, except for the minimum number of guests required (60 midweek, 150 on Friday, and 180 on Saturday), there are no restrictions.



Where a large wedding venues required, this is a good choice, but smaller gatherings are much more romantic and there is a more intimate room for groups of up to 60, with its own dance floor.



A large part of this hotel’s appeal is its location (so much for guests to do in the area), the extensive leisure and pampering facilities (including ESPA treatments), and the stylish, very comfortable accommodation which is offered in various combinations, including family rooms.
