Hilton Sheffield to rebrand as The Quays Hotel
15/01/2020
The hotel group’s portfolio includes the Rose and Crown hotel in Wiltshire, Southampton-based Chilworth Manor and Wychwood Park hotel in Crewe
The former Sheffield-based four-star Hilton Hotel, which closed before Christmas resulting in 100 job losses, is set to reopen next month under a new brand.
Legacy Hotels and Resorts has been appointed to manage the property, following its recent sale to an undisclosed buyer, as The Quays Hotel Sheffield.
Hilton had managed the hotel situated on Furnival Road for 20 years, and decided to “surrender” its lease last year. The hotel group’s portfolio includes the Rose and Crown hotel in Wiltshire, Southampton-based Chilworth Manor and Wychwood Park hotel in Crewe.
Andy Towsend, chief executive of Legacy Hotels and Resorts, said: “We are delighted to have been appointed to take on the management of the former Hilton hotel on behalf of the new Sheffield-based owning company.
“Having previously worked for Stakis Hotels back in its day I recall the hotel’s opening with fondness and the enthusiasm it drove to that part of the city – I hope in time we can rekindle those emotions and support.”
He added: “We are currently evaluating branding options to support the development of the business moving forward and suspect we will come to some early decisions very soon.”

“I have been using Key Reservations for nearly 10years now, their service is second to none. Within my role at Finsbury Food Group, it is a weight off my mind that I have Michelle at the other end of a phone or email who will help me out no end. The service they provide is excellent, the whole team are very friendly and helpful. The knowledge and advice they offer about various hotels and meeting venues is invaluable, they take out all the hassle of looking for accommodation and meeting venues. I don’t know what I would do without them!”
