Radisson Blu is to operate a new flagship hotel overlooking the Peace Gardens in Sheffield.
The Radisson Blu will be based in a building dating from the Victorian era, in Pinstone Street. The hotel will anchor the new Heart of the City II scheme, which is already home to HSBC Bank among other companies.
The Radisson Blu is expected to include over 150 bedrooms and will have a prominent location with views of the Peace Gardens.
The Radisson Blu hotel is one component in an ambitious project to rejuvenate the centre of Sheffield with new offices, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, urban living spaces and boutique hotels.
Staying in Sheffield, the former Sheffield Hilton which closed late last year has just reopened as the Best Western Plus Quays Hotel, operated by Legacy Hotels & Resorts and located at Victoria Quays in Sheffield's Canal Basin area.
Best Western Plus Quays Hotel comprises 128 bedrooms, a spa with an extensive gym and swimming pool, meeting spaces and is home to the Quays Restaurant.
Meanwhile plans to convert the former Halifax Building Society building in Sheffield city centre to create a new hotel and restaurant have been given the go-ahead.
The building in Surrey Street was originally constructed in 1893/94 but has been vacant following the closure of the building society in 2017.
The plans envisage a restaurant in the former banking hall at ground floor level with hotel reception and 20 bedrooms on the upper floors.
Details of the hotel operator await publication.
