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] The following year, the hotel closed in order to house asylum seekers.[8]
