Radison Blu Coming To Sheffield

[taxman 12]

Brand new hotel set to open in 2023 overlooking the Peace Gardens.

 

I hope it will be sympathetic to the surrounding historical buildings. From the artist's impression it look OK

Great news, the city needs more good quality hotels for business and visitors.

Will there be space for parking?

Do they have room round the back?

The city centre has multiple car parks. Why would the hotel need a specific one?

It’s a useful selling point I’d have thought.

Maybe. Not unusual for a city centre hotel to not offer an on-site car park.

City centre hotels often do a deal with a nearby car park.

Will guests be able to take their car to the front/back of the hotel to unload their luggage..............?

I wonder if they will be bringing the self-sustainable technology with them? 

Their Frankfurt hotel runs it's own Hydrogen Fuel Cell generator to power & heat the hotel.

IIRC when it was announced they claimed it would save upto 600 tonnes of carbon emissions, which I believe they said was equivalant to 50,000 average cars driving 100km (62 miles)

 

EDIT: I was right:

There will be full taxi & drop-off/pick-up arrangements on Burgess Street - the hotel spans the block.

Useful, perhaps, but not essential, especially for such a central site. Transport statement on the planning app confirms there is no parking included in the proposals themselves, and that they will utilise existing city centre parking, potentially with special arrangements as alchresearch says.
