2008 Hotel Accommodation

NTIF 2007 Host Hotel

The Radisson hotel is now pretty much full for the weekend. There may be one or two rooms left, but no longer at the festival rate. We have secured a small block at our overflow hotel, the La Quinta Inns & Suites.

If you are looking for less expensive, no frills, simple accommodation there are a number of Red Roof Inn, Days Inn and Americas Best Value Inn located on I30 and I35 within easy driving distance of Fair Park. We suggest you use Orbitz, Hotels.com or one of the other online directories.

The host hotel for the 25th North Texas Irish Festival is again the Radisson Dallas, located at  6060 North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX 75206. Phone: (214) 750-6060. The hotel is conveniently located just north of Mockingbird Lane on the east side of US 75. It is within easy walking distance of the fine restaurants and pubs of Mockingbird Station, the DART rail station and just a short drive from Fair Park.

A complimentary shuttle service will be provided between the hotel and Fair Park. Complimentary transportation is also available to Love Field Airport, downtown Dallas, Greenville Avenue and many other destinations in the North Dallas area.

The 293 guestrooms and suites at the Radisson Hotel Central Dallas are packed with conveniences to enhance guests' stays. A few highlights include direct-dial phones with voicemail, data port access, and coffee makers. Enjoy unlimited use of an excellent exercise facility or relax by the indoor/outdoor pool on those hot NTIF days!

Dining

Vanessa's Restaurant is the main restaurant at the Radisson Hotel and offers up classic American cuisine in a casual setting, and the Lobby Bar, with TV and High-Speed Internet Access, is a popular spot to unwind and enjoy a Guinness. The bar will be especially busy most evenings with gatherings and impromptu sessions.

Hospitality Suite

After the festival closes the party continues in the hotel lobby bar or of the spacious Radisson meeting rooms or any place that you can find to gather and session with friends old and new. It is an NTIF tradition for guests to meet with friends, exchange songs and tunes and enjoy a variety of session music till the wee hours.
