Plans To Build New Hotel In Sheffield Get The Green Light
Plans to build a Radisson Blu hotel in Sheffield city centre have been given the green light.
Submitted by Sheffield City Council and its Strategic Development Partner, Queensberry, in August, the plans are the latest to be approved as part of Sheffield's transformational Heart of the City scheme.
As an international hotel brand with a reputation for excellence, the arrival of Radisson Blu in Sheffield is expected to attract new business opportunities into the city, while raising its profile as a visitor destination.
Accommodating guests with stylish facilities for both work and relaxation, the hotel will be housed behind the charming facades of Palatine Chambers and City Mews. Replacing Barkers Pool House on Burgess Street will be a second complementary building, containing the majority of the hotel’s 154 bedrooms.
A rooftop bar, restaurant and terrace is also planned for the hotel, which will look out over the Peace Gardens. Upmarket ground-level retail and food and beverage units are also set to enliven this prominent location on Pinstone Street.
Designed by Sheffield-based architects, HLM, the retention of Pinstone Street's historic facades and the incorporation of complementary materials and colours will ensure the new development reflects the city’s strong historic identity.
The plans for Radisson Blu are the latest set of proposals within the Heart of the City scheme to receive planning approval, as the project forges ahead to create a thriving new central hub for Sheffield. Introducing a new mix of leisure, retail, office and residential developments, the scheme is set to breathe new life into the city centre, making it a more attractive place to work and live.
Councillor Mazher Iqbal, Cabinet Member for Business and Investment at Sheffield City Council, said: "We're delighted that our plans to introduce a new hotel to the heart of Sheffield have received planning approval. I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their comments on these proposals.
"We believe that the arrival of Radisson Blu – a brand of real quality and prestige – not only demonstrates confidence in our city as a worthwhile investment location, but will be a key factor to attracting more businesses and will complement the ongoing rejuvenation of our city centre."
