DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City, located right next to the historic Bramall Lane stadium, has officially opened its doors to guests.
The opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the hotel’s general manager James McDevitt and Stephen Bettis, chief executive officer of Sheffield United Football Club. As the official hotel of Sheffield United Football Club, the new property is positioned to cater to football fans, business travellers and leisure guests.
The hotel features 155 guest rooms, an event space capable of accommodating up to 250 guests, a fitness centre and the hotel’s signature dō deli bar and restaurant.
The restaurant features a diverse menu, with options ranging from bakery items and pizzas to smash burgers and crafted beverages.
McDevitt said: “Our team is committed to providing exceptional service and we are all excited to share our warm hospitality with the vibrant city of Sheffield. We look forward to welcoming visitors from near and far and inviting them to experience the unique charm of DoubleTree by Hilton, where everyone can enjoy a signature warm cookie upon arrival.
“Our close proximity to the home of Sheffield United will undoubtedly enhance the matchday experience for all fans at Bramall Lane and allow us to forge unforgettable memories with our guests, as we host pre- and post-match celebrations.”
Bettis added: “Blades fans that are returning for the new season will notice a number of developments that will enhance the Bramall Lane experience and the new DoubleTree by Hilton is one that we are extremely proud of.
“There’s been extensive and meticulous planning and preparation, with plenty of hard work and cooperation between key stakeholders to get to this point. Football fans heading to S2 for matches, as well as wider visitors to Sheffield, will undoubtedly be impressed by the hotel and its facilities when visiting our historic home in the heart of the steel city.”
The property is owned by Sheffield United Football Club and managed by Leaf Hospitality.
