Located in the heart of Sheffield city centre and only 2 hours from London Euston is the Mercure Sheffield St Pauls Hotel & Spa. Surrounded by fantastic restaurants, its central location next to the Peace Gardens provides not only great dining opportunities but easy access for major transport links as well.
Stepping into the huge super bright lobby, you immediately notice the fantastic use of glass that gives you your first glimpse of the attached Winter Gardens where over 2,000 varieties of trees and plants are housed. What’s more, with the gardens being available for private hire the hotel is ideally suited for environmentally friendly events or drink receptions. The artwork and décor throughout the hotel continue this natural theme and yet remain in keeping with the modern feel of the place.
From reception, you can access one of the 11 meeting rooms that combine to make this Sheffield’s largest hotel-based conference and banqueting facility. Alternatively, you can choose to either make use of the fabulous outdoor terrace that would be perfect for drinks receptions or indulge yourself in any one of the spa’s fantastic treatments.

This is definitely not your standard hotel gym – it was really good with lots of equipment and classes to take part in too.
Spa & Swimming Pool:
A fabulous, nicely lit, 18.2 metre pool available here, that is more than big enough to do some actual swimming – we found this so refreshing from the usual small dipping pool that is found in many hotels. Their thermal suite also includes a steam room, sauna and feature snail shower, with an ice cabin for those wishing to feel extra revitalised. Should the ice cabin not directly appeal to you, then you can always choose to indulge yourself in on one of the spa’s seven treatment rooms.
RESTAURANTS & BARS
The Yard is the hotel’s restaurant and has capacity for 95 covers. With its curved steel and glass roof and full-length glass wall overlooking the Winter Gardens, it has a lovely contemporary feel about it. Breakfast can be taken here while it can also cater for lunches for large conferences as well. We really enjoyed the great food on offer and with the view of the gardens, you never would have guessed that you were in a city centre.
Located on the ground floor, the lovely and bright Champagne Bar is where you go for an after-dinner drink…or two. Tasty food can be also be had at this desirable meeting place while the entire venue is available for group hire.
Also, just off from the lobby is the terrace outside which is a fantastic location for outside drinks receptions etc in the warmer months. Overlooking the Peace Gardens, it is a really nice space.
