Village Hotel Club has announced that it has acquired the former DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield Park on Chesterfield Road South, Sheffield.
The company plans to undertake a multi-million-pound investment and renovation. The site will remain closed whilst this extensive renovation project takes place.
The deal marks Village’s first ever location in Sheffield and follows its recent acquisition of the former Crowne Plaza hotel at Caversham Bridge, Reading, which will open in December.
The company also has extension work underway at several of its existing hotels, including Village Hotel Ashton and Solihull, both of which will see an additional 48 bedrooms added, as well as improvements to leisure facilities. Work is due to begin at Village Hotel Leeds South imminently.
These works all form part of Village’s £82m, refurbishment programme focused on upgrading its existing estate and enhancing the guest experience.
Gary Davis, CEO of Village Hotel Club, said: “We’re thrilled to announce another new opening for Village which will see us bring our truly unique hotel and leisure club offering to Sheffield. The deal forms part of our ambitious growth plans, as we continue to invest in the guest experience and add more quality hotels for customers to enjoy across the UK.”
David Lee, regional director – hotels at Christie and Co, who managed the sale, added: “We are delighted to have supported Village Hotel Club in securing this exciting new site in Sheffield.
“Village’s acquisition and planned investment in the property will undoubtedly breathe new life into the site, and we look forward to seeing it become a thriving destination for both leisure and business guests in the region.”
