Champagne corks were popping at the Portland Hotel after it achieved four-star status

HEY Conferences would like to congratulate the staff at The Portland Hotel, a partner within the Hull & East Yorkshire Conference partnership for receiving the coveted four-star AA rating, the first in Hull.

The Portland Hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the city of Hull, within strolling distance of the cobbled streets and free museums based in the old town and within 3 minutes walk of the Princes Quay Shopping Centre, new Hull Transport Interchange and St Stephen's retail experience.

The Portland Hotel offers 126 bedrooms and all the modern facilities expected by today's business traveller including free concierge parking and entry into a premier health and fitness club nearby. The hotel can also offer conference and meeting rooms for up to 220 delegates.

Janet Reuben, Chief Executive of Visit Hull and East Yorkshire, said: "This accolade for the Portland Hotel is acknowledgement of their hard work and investment to achieve a quality experience with four star grading. It is great news for the Portland Hotel and great we now have a four-star offer in the heart of the city."
