Flagship Radisson Blu hotel now open in Sheffield City Centre
The prestigious Radisson Hotel Group have now opened their brand-new Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield, situated in the heart of the city center on Pinstone Street.
With stunning views overlooking Sheffield Town Hall and the Peace Gardens, the hotel features a sympathetically restored Victorian façade and timeless design, making it a stylish addition to our vibrant Yorkshire city.
The hotel boasts 154 contemporary and airy guest rooms, a rooftop speakeasy-style Indian restaurant concept and bar, six flexible meeting and event spaces with an outdoor terrace, a fully equipped fitness center, and a convenient location, the hotel is the perfect base for any stay, whether traveling on business or leisure.
Valerie Donaldson, General Manager of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield, says: “We are thrilled to welcome guests to our stunning property where history meets hospitality. With architectural grandeur and luxurious contemporary facilities, we aim to create the perfect symphony of sophistication for a well-rounded stay”.
From afar already, the hotel draws guests in with its stunning Victorian façade. Restored with the help of heritage specialists, this landmark property represents a further important step in the city’s transformation as vibrant cultural destination.
“As part of the Heart of the City regeneration project, the hotel plays a pivotal role in shaping the city’s new identity while staying true to its roots”, Valerie Donaldson explains.
In a direct nod to the nearby Peak District, the hotel takes inspiration from organic shapes and colors found in nature, with natural materials and steel details, merging these with contemporary design elements to instantly make guests feel at ease.
The guest rooms, including one junior suite, reflect the hotel’s refined yet comfortable style, with many rooms boasting views of The Peace Gardens and the old clock tower and city central points.
A culinary journey with panoramic views
At the top-floor restaurant and bar, Governor Gupta, food enthusiasts and friends come together to celebrate the vibrant flavours of northern India. Boasting panoramic views, Governor Gupta appeals to both locals and adventurous travellers.
With a mix of cozy booth seating, open space tables and a terrace perfect for social gatherings, it provides an inviting and warm atmosphere. Dishing out creative small plates, kebabs and grills with a Northern Indian flair and soft pillowy Naans to accompany. This is all perfectly paired with amazing cocktails, also with Indian influences, wines and bubbly.
The hotel’s six meeting and event spaces offer various configurations and versatile settings. The meeting and event area include a spacious breakout area, private bar and a courtyard for outdoor use.
With its upscale meeting facilities, old-world architecture and contemporary touches, the Radisson Blu Hotel piques new interest in Sheffield as a city of contrasts, of past and present, history and regeneration. At the same time, it connects locals to a world of memorable moments with Radisson Blu.
Located just a ten-minute walk from Sheffield train station and a stone’s throw from both concert venue, Sheffield City Hall and Europe’s largest purpose-built food hall, Cambridge Street Collective, the hotel offers an ideal base for urban exploring and weekend escapes in Sheffield.
Sheffield has transformed into a vibrant cultural hub alive with theatres, retail, and nightlife. Emphasizing its commitment to green spaces and sustainability, the city boasts innovative parks and green corridors, and its location on the edge of the Peak District offers easy access to stunning natural landscapes for outdoor enthusiasts.
Tom Flanagan Karttunen, Area Senior Vice President Northern & Western Europe, Radisson Hotel Group, adds: “The opening of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield marks a significant milestone for us and the city.
Located in the heart of Sheffield city centre, and part of the city’s 'Heart of the City' regeneration investment, this hotel is the first new hotel in the city for many years. We are excited to bring a touch of Blu to the UK’s greenest city, at a prime location for leisure guests, corporates and meeting and events.”
Back in 2020, international hotel brand, Radisson Blu, were selected by Sheffield City Council as the preferred operator for its flagship Heart of the City hotel.
Four years later and it's fantastic to see the completion of this brand-new hotel complete with high-end rooftop bar-restaurant and stunning views over the city.
