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.
