Due to be completed by March 2022, the programme will see 100 front-facing superior bedrooms, 80 classic bedrooms and 5 suites redesigned and upgraded.
As well as refreshed interiors, all rooms will have new bathrooms, be individually air-conditioned and have automated window blinds.
Classic rooms will have a new King cloud bed with Super King cloud beds in the superior rooms.
“The work, which started in September 2019, represents a significant investment by Hastings Hotels,” said James McGinn, General Manager of the Europa Hotel.
“Despite the challenging times we are all currently facing, we are committed to ensuring we continue to offer the highest of standards to our guests and will complete this phased project over the next year and a half.”
“The first two floors of newly rejuvenated bedrooms are now complete, with another of six floors of rooms to be refurbished by March 2022.
“No detail has been overlooked and I am confident that our guests will love the new urban chic feel.”
Hastings Hotels worked with local companies RPP Architects and Interiors and Floor Design to create the vision. Graham Construction is currently delivering the renovation programme.
Bevelled mirrors, on-trend brushed brass. contemporary glass-panelled shower rooms help create the stunning new look for the world-famous Europa Hotel.
Amanda Ramsey, Director of Interiors and Floor Design said: “The Europa Hotel has a strong presence and character in the heart of Belfast City Centre. When it came to redesigning the bedrooms, Hastings Hotels had a clear vision for the direction that should be taken. The rooms are functional, yet clever in design, with elements of glass and mirror creating a spacious feel within each bedroom.
“The fabrics that have been selected pay homage to Belfast’s Linen Quarter, where the hotel is located, and the textures and earthy tones help create a restful sleeping space. Soft geometrics and carpet design create a subtle backdrop to the rich, dark timber furniture with classic marble tops. The new remote-control blinds mean that at touch of a button, guests can lie in bed and enjoy the stunning city views.”
Located in the heart of Belfast city the Europa Hotel has an international reputation for hosting prestigious events and looking after many of the celebrities and VIPs who visit Belfast, including former US President Clinton and presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton when they visited the city in 1995.
