History
Beetham Organisation hired Ian Simpson for a mixed tower on a ring-road island at Holloway Circus. Construction started in March 2003. The tower is 122 metres and 39 storeys, sheathed in turquoise and clear glass, and it opened its hotel floors on 16 January 2006 as a Radisson SAS with 211 rooms. Apartments occupy the floors above. The brand name later became Radisson Blu. Filini was the Italian restaurant at the opening.
