Radisson Blu Perth (formerly known as the Station Hotel) is an historic building in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Located on Leonard Street, it is a Category B listed building [1] built in 1888. [2] It opened for business in August 1890. [2] One of the hotel's first managers was Arthur Foster. [3]
The hotel faces Perth railway station, for which it is named. [1] It is also close to Perth bus station. The hotel was formerly owned and managed by the Highland, North British and Caledonian Railway companies. [4]
The building, made of cream and red sandstone, was designed by Perth's city architect Andrew Heiton, who assumed his role some thirty years earlier. [1] He worked with another local architect, John Murray Robertson, on the project. [1] The hotel is a notable example of Scottish baronial architecture. [5]
Queen Victoria was a regular visitor to the hotel. She had breakfast there on her final visit to Perth in May 1900, [6] eight months before her death. She was in a wheelchair on that day. [6]
In 2021, the hotel joined Radisson Hotel Group and became Radisson Blu Perth. [7]
