Part of the Rezidor Hotel Group, The Radisson Blu hotel brand (formerly SAS) is as strong as ever with its 100% guest satisfaction guarantee and the “Yes I Can” service concept. However, there is nothing uniform or impersonal about this strive towards perfection in image and service, as you will always be treated to a personalised conference experience.

Located in the very heart of Stavanger, both the Radisson Blu Atlantic and Radisson Blu Royal offer the finest in modern conference facilities, with experienced and dedicated staff available at all times to fulfil your needs. The hotels are within walking distance of all essential attractions and amenities, with old Stavanger and its wooden buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries only a few minutes away. There is, however, no real need to leave the hotels come evening, as their restaurants and bars have a reputation for first-class dining and tipples.

Radisson Blu Atlantic Hotel
The Radisson Blu Atlantic Hotel, established in 1952, is located by the beautiful Lake Breiavannet, and with 364 rooms, it features the largest hotel capacity in Stavanger. All of the rooms are furnished with stylish Scandinavian, Maritime or Ocean décor and come with free broadband.

The hotel’s conference facilities consist of more than 1800 m2 of space and 15 rooms in different sizes with the largest conference room, the Atlantic Hall, fitting up to 500 people. With a capacity of up to 2,000 people, the whole conference centre can also be used as a venue for events. “The entire first floor of the hotel is dedicated for conference use, making it very convenient for delegates and organisers,” says General Manager Lars Ola Solstad. “We’ll help you plan the perfect conference, and our Meeting & Events staff is well trained to handle any changes that may arise during your event.”

After your daily meetings and a satisfying meal at the Antique a la Carte restaurant, you can either take advantage of the special rates at the nearby Elixia fitness club or, if the fancy takes you, join your colleagues at the English-style bar King Oscar or the relaxed and informal Pub Alexander. As a crowning jewel to your perfect day, you can retreat to the top floor of the hotel and take in an incredible view of the whole city, while enjoying a genuine Scandinavian sauna experience.

Radisson Blu Royal Hotel
Director of Sales Lars Hagen describes the atmosphere at Radisson Blu Royal Hotel as cosy and personal. Opened in 1987, the hotel is built around an atrium and consists of 204 rooms and a conference area with six meeting rooms (maximum capacity for the largest room being 130 people), all equipped with free wireless Internet. “For conferences you are set at the heart of the hotel on the ground floor near the front desk. People are there to assist you at all times. During your stay, you get to meet everyone from the people at reception to the General Manager,” Hagen says. At your request the staff can put together a personalised conference package, including, for example, a wine tasting or even a bigger event in a party room in the hotel’s garage, which is allocated in the basement and offers direct access to the hotel.

One of the hotel’s big attractions is its Pool Club, which is all decked out with a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and relaxation area. For the perfect dining experience, the hotel’s restaurant Eat is constantly changing its menu to accommodate local produce and ingredients. As an added luxury, the hotel also offers a pillow menu. While regulars get to stay in their preferred rooms, they can also request the perfect pillow that will always be there waiting for them for every visit. All these aspects add to the feeling of intimacy that, according to Hagen, is an integral part of the hotel’s image and reputation.
