What do clients say about our Sports Approved hotels?

Sir David Richards

Former Premier League Chairman and Former FA Vice Chairman and Lifetime Vice President

Radisson Hotels are a forward-thinking global brand, who evidently understand the needs of travelling sports teams and I hold them in high regard. The service, experience in sports catering, and facilities they offer are truly superb. In my experience, the entire process has always been seamless and enjoyable and I would have no hesitation in recommending Radisson to the avid sports fan or any travelling team.

Delivering exceptional service for the Manchester Para Powerlifting World Cup 2021

In March 2021, the world’s finest para powerlifters went head-to-head at the Manchester 2021 World Para Powerlifting World Cup – the crucial qualifier for the Tokyo Paralympic Games.

This was the second consecutive year the competition took place in Manchester – qualifiers for the Paralympics had to be held a second time due to the Games being rescheduled. Following a successful event in 2020, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport was once again chosen as the host hotel for teams taking part in the event.
