Sheffield is poised to undergo a substantial economic upswing with the impending launch of the ‘DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City’, set to open near Bramall Lane stadium in August 2024. This upscale hotel represents a revitalization of the former Copthorne Hotel, which closed its doors four years ago after serving the city for decades.
Led by Hilton, the ambitious project aims not only to raise the bar for hospitality standards in Sheffield but also to inject vitality into the local job market by creating over 100 new positions across various sectors, including management, customer service, and operational roles.
The significance of this initiative was underscored by the hotel’s general manager, who emphasized, “The opening of the hotel is a significant milestone for our team, and we are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to welcome new colleagues. We are dedicated to assembling a team of professionals who share our passion for delivering exceptional hospitality. Together, we will play pivotal roles in creating memorable experiences for our guests.”
To facilitate the hiring process, Hilton has organized two dedicated recruitment events. The first event is scheduled for Sunday, June 30, from 12 pm to 4 pm at Sheffield United’s 1889 Director’s Suite on Cherry Street. The second event will be held on Wednesday, July 3, from 10 am to 2 pm at Sheffield United’s International Bar on John Street.
Available positions encompass a wide range of roles, including restaurant and bar managers, chefs, receptionists, room attendants, and food and beverage assistants. Prospective applicants are encouraged to bring their CVs and documentation proving their eligibility to work in the UK.
The announcement of these recruitment drives underscores the hotel’s commitment not only to job creation but also to fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity within the hospitality sector. As Sheffield gears up to welcome the ‘DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City’, both residents and job seekers can anticipate increased employment opportunities and elevated service standards.
In summary, the imminent opening of the ‘DoubleTree by Hilton Sheffield City’ marks a significant milestone for Sheffield’s hospitality industry. It promises not only economic growth through job creation but also an enhanced guest experience that will further solidify Sheffield’s reputation as a premier destination. As recruitment efforts gain momentum, Sheffield eagerly anticipates welcoming a dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences for all guests.
