Brand-New Courtyard by Marriott Sheffield Opens!

29th December 2025

South Yorkshire has a new addition to its hotel scene, as the Courtyard by Marriott Sheffield officially opens its doors just a few minutes from the city centre

The 150-room hotel sits at the entrance to the Advanced Manufacturing Park, and is ideally located for visitors heading to Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Gulliver’s Valley Theme Park or the Utilita Arena. 

Rooms include family and dog-friendly options and are designed in a natural, calming palette of browns and greens, with contemporary wood accents. The hotel also offers meeting and event spaces that draw on the city’s industrial heritage, aimed at both business use and community events. 

At the heart of the hotel is Aspen Restaurant & Bar, inspired by the local community and named after the original meaning of Waverley: ‘a meadow of quivering aspens’. The restaurant serves up delicious dishes, including a signature Philly cheesesteak, sweet potato and butternut squash tagine, and Sunday roasts, in a stylish and relaxed setting. The bar’s cocktail list includes drinks inspired by the city’s steel-making history. 

Filipe Chaby-Rodrigues, the hotel’s new general manager, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome guests to the Courtyard by Marriott Sheffield. Our team has been working hard to build connections with the local community, and create a welcoming, comfortable space where everyone – whether travelling for work, a weekend away or a family break – feels at home.”
