With a cosmopolitan feel and proud industrial past, England’s fourth largest city is now a top destination for business visitors also seeking culture and the arts, a dazzling nightlife, great shopping and exceptional entertainment. This is also a city with sport at its heart, from international athletics to world snooker.
The compact city centre has over 3000 hotel bedrooms, many within walking distance of the key city venues. And this has been boosted in the west of the city by 3,500 en suite bedrooms at the University of Sheffield’s new campus, which also offers state of the art facilities for up to 500 delegates.
Other recent developments have included the multi-million pound upgrade of the Sheffield City Hall, excellent new corporate facilities at Magna to the tune of £2.7 million, and the opening of the city’s first boutique hotel, the Leopold Hotel.
And there’s also excitement surrounding Sheffield’s independent hotels with some impressive investment: enjoy an art deco feel in the heart of Theatreland at the Cutler’s Hotel or indulge in a little luxury at the Rutland hotel.
Located at the heart of the UK, Sheffield is on the main M1 corridor and less than two hours away from London by train. It’s also within easy reach of five international airports with a direct rail link to Manchester International.
