Venue becomes company’s second in Sheffield
The Novotel Sheffield Centre, on Arundel Gate, is located right next to the Millennium Galleries and not far from the Crucible Theatre.
But now it has been named as one of seven properties which have been sold by Ares Real Estate Funds and EQ Group, and now bought up by Starboard Hotels, which now own 28 venues.
It was bought in a joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management, and becomes the company’s second hotel in Sheffield, along with the Ibis Hotel, near Ponds Forge.
The company describe the Novotel as a five-minute walk from the station and close to the theatres and Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane ground.
