Arundel Gate City Gate Castle House Copthorne Hotel Digital Campus Hanover House Jury's Inn Hotel Spital Tower Velocity Tower Western Tower Millennium & Copthorne (M&C) is to manage the new hotel at Sheffield United FC’s Bramall Lane stadium. Work has started on the 149-room four-star property in the New Year and open in autumn 2008. The eight-storey hotel will be part of a multimillion-pound development, which will also include a restaurant, executive suites and a gym. An M&C spokesman said: “We are delighted to have added to our Premiership portfolio offering quality accommodation near high-profile football clubs and also to be opening a hotel in Yorkshire for the first time.” Sheffield United chief executive Jason Rockett added the deal was a “significant step” in the regeneration of the city and Sharrow area. M&C already has four properties at and around football stadiums: the Copthorne hotel and the Millennium hotel in Chelsea Village, London; the Millennium hotel at Reading FC’s Madejski stadium; the Copthorne hotel near Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium. |

The hotel construction next to the stadium behind the Westfield Corner Stand has started to resemble a project that at last has an ending in sight, albeit not for a few months. This latest picture (Friday 13 June) clearly shows cladding starting to be put on the building close to the rear of the Valad Stand. The £17million project is a result of a link-up with prestigious international company Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc to operate the four-star hotel, which will include 158-bedrooms, executive suites, a modern bar, fitness suite and restaurant. It will become the joint biggest in Sheffield and is set to complement the club's existing leisure and conferencing facilities at the stadium. Yorkshire-based company GMI Construction Group Plc is working with the Blades on the development, which is set to be completed by November 2008.
