"Radisson Hotel Phoenix North is a testament to a strong partnership between the hotel's owners," said Robert Rauch, President and Founder of R.A. Rauch & Associates. "The combination of financial, construction and management know-how will serve the hotel and area well and we look forward to serving as a hub for business and leisure travelers alike."

The 284-room hotel closed for a five-month, $8 million renovation helmed by Norville, a construction industry expert; capital partners Brixton Capital, who specialize in commercial real estate transactions; and management firm R.A. Rauch & Associates, who will bring their management expertise into all aspects of guest relations and hotel operations.

The modern and contemporary hotel design, executed by Greenwood & Black; has a chic and energetic look across the property. Featuring shades of blue and yellow with red accents throughout, the color scheme adds a punch of vibrancy that speaks to the Phoenix landscape. Guestrooms sport new carpet, fully remodeled bathrooms and fresh soft goods and mattresses; while a renovated lobby features new flooring, wallpaper, paint, bold regional artwork, enhanced seating and lounge area and a sundries shop. Recreation-minded travelers can get moving in a new fitness room with Life Fitness equipment, individual TVs with complimentary earbuds and free weights. The remodel also includes a resurfaced pool, whirlpool and lounge deck; as well as over 14,000 square feet of meeting space updated with state-of-the-art sound systems and AV equipment to serve Phoenix's many businesses and corporate travelers. Brixton Pub, offering classic pub fare and comfort food with a European flair, will keep guests satisfied around the clock.
