The international chain set to open a flagship hotel overlooking Peace Gardens in Sheffield

Radisson Blu has been selected by Sheffield City Council as the preferred hotel brand for its flagship £470 million Heart of the City II hotel on Pinstone Street, overlooking the Peace Gardens.

The upscale international hotel brand is operated by Radisson Hotel Group and is renowned for its personalised service in stylish spaces.

The hotel will anchor the new Heart of the City II scheme which is already home to global bank HSBC and which will shortly welcome prominent international law firm, CMS - who are occupying 45,000 sq. ft of office space - later in the year.

It will form a key part of the plan to rejuvenate the centre of Sheffield with new offices, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and homes.

Part of Block A in Heart of the City II, the hotel will be housed in the striking Victorian architecture towards the top end of Pinstone Street, adjacent to the Barclays building on the corner.

It is expected to feature over 150 rooms and will have a prominent location with views of the Peace Gardens.

Developed by Sheffield City Council and its strategic delivery partner, Queensberry, Block A sits between Pinstone Street, Burgess Street and Barker’s Pool.

Providing a key gateway to the Heart of the City II district from the east, Block A will also feature premium retail units at street level and 45,000 sq. ft of office or residential space.
