Radisson Hotel Group has announced its Radisson Blu Hotel, Sheffield, which is located in the heart of the city centre has opened. The newly opened hotel boasts views overlooking the Town Hall and The Peace Gardens and features a sympathetically restored Victorian façade and timeless design.
With 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 centre, and a convenient location, the hotel is the perfect base for any stay, whether travelling 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.

The hotel draws in its guests with the stunning Victorian front. Restored with the help of heritage specialists, this landmark property represents a further important step in the city’s transformation from an industrial town into a vibrant cultural destination.
“As part of the ‘Heart of the City’ regeneration project that Sheffield is currently undergoing, the hotel plays a pivotal role in shaping the city’s new identity while staying true to its roots”, explains Valerie.
In a direct nod to the nearby Peak District, the hotel takes inspiration from organic shapes and colours found in nature, with natural materials and steel details and merges 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, the old clock tower and the city’s central points.
