The development of the DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City hotel has commenced.
The hotel will be located at Bramall Lane football stadium and is expected to welcome guests from late Summer 2024.

Fans of Sheffield United will have the opportunity to enjoy pre- and post-match gatherings in the hotel’s lounge bar and take advantage of its extensive events facilities.
The vision for the property is to establish it as the leading upscale hotel in the city under the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel brand.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City conversion will elevate the hospitality experience for visitors and fans alike. This is a really special project and we’re delighted to kick off.”
