Radisson Hotel Group is pleased to announce the signing of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield, expanding the brand's UK presence in collaboration with the local city council as part of its flagship Heart of the City II development.

The brand-new hotel, opening in 2023, will be housed in the striking Victorian architecture of Pinstone Street featuring 154 light, airy and spacious rooms with a prominent location including views of the Peace Gardens. The stylish property will also offer multi-functional and flexible meeting and events spaces as well as a modern gym for guests.

The property will feature a high-end rooftop restaurant and bar looking out across the main city square, featuring a unique urban design to create a lively setting that feels dynamic and vibrant for everything from drinks with friends to Sunday lunch.

Heart of the City II is revamping Sheffield's city centre to deliver its long-awaited commercial, leisure, retail and residential area. As part of the scheme, the new hotel will help rejuvenate the centre of Sheffield with easy access to key attractions including The Crucible Theatre, Lyceum Theatre and live music venue O2 Academy Sheffield, as well as Sheffield Hallam University.

Famously known as the steel city, Sheffield was famed for its industry in the 1900s and still remains a city of innovation. Today, a green, modern cityscape is set against the stunning backdrop of the Peak District National Park. The city also hosts the spectacular Sheffield Winter Gardens, the largest urban glasshouse in Europe, housing more than 2,000 plants and attracting over two million visitors per year.

Sheffield has a vast cultural offering for visitors, with the famous Millennium Galleries now in partnership with London's V&A museum, showing incredible exhibitions, and it has been voted many times as the friendliest and safest city in the UK.

The hotel will be located just 10 minutes walk from Sheffield train station and 40 minutes' drive from Doncaster Sheffield airport. It is also within easy reach of the city's main ring road.
