Facilities have reopened at a landmark Sheffield hotel, which closed its doors at the end of 2019.
Earlier this month (January 2020), Legacy Hotels & Resorts was appointed to re-open the four-star hotel and leisure club over the coming weeks following its closure late last year when Hilton surrendered its lease on the property. It has now been re-named The Quays Hotel.
The hotel's leisure and health facilities, including a spa, gym and studios plus a 20m swimming pool accessible by non-residents, have now reopened.
Paul Smith has also returned as leisure club general manager.
Andy Townsend, Legacy Hotels & Resorts chief executive, said: "This is the first step for an exciting new future for the hotel. We know how popular the leisure area was for people from Sheffield and we are delighted that the facilities are up and running again under Phil and his team of six staff.
"We expect to announce the reopening and new branding of the hotel in a couple of weeks."
The property, which originally opened under the ownership and branding of Stakis Hotels, features 128 bedrooms, a spa with a gym and swimming pool, meeting spaces and the Quays Restaurant. It is located on Furnival Road, at Victoria Quays, in Sheffield's Canal Basin area.
