In an enviable location in the heart of Sheffield, Mercure St Paul's Hotel and Spa Sheffield is the modern spa hotel with everything you need for rest and relaxation, whether you're on a getaway with friends or looking to add a little life balance to a work trip. Here are just five of the reasons we love it...
An ultra modern hotel, Mercure St Paul's Hotel and Spa Sheffield is a four-star getaway encased in a contemporary, glass covered property. Light and inviting, when it underwent a huge renovation in 2015, the owners sought to reflect the city’s cultural landscape in the design with locally-inspired artwork. Meanwhile, public spaces draw inspiration from the green city including some of its key features such as the Winter Garden, Peace Gardens and nearby Peak District National Park.
Mercure St Paul's Hotel and Spa Sheffield is in a fantastic location for exploring the city. It's just minutes from the Crucible and Lyceum theatres, while the Meadowhall Shopping Centre is a short drive away. It is also easily accessible via most major transport links, so whether you're visiting for work or a celebration with friends, it's an excellent meeting point with lots to do close by.
The Champagne Bar is definitely one of our favourite features at the hotel, especially on sunny days. It is understandably known for being one of the city's most desirable meeting places with its sophisticated style, and fizzing atmosphere. If you're visiting for a hen party or a birthday, this is definitely the place to start your evening.
Alongside the city location and the abundant Champagne, Mercure St Paul's Hotel and Spa Sheffield is also home to a generous range of wellness facilities. Guests delight in the use of their ice room, aroma steam room, regular steam room, sauna, experience showers, and 18-metre pool to prepare for a night out or recover afterwards.
Completing the spa experience, therapists work with the famed Decleor product line to deliver a collection of face and body therapies as well as manicures and pedicures. Whether you're in the mood for holistic wellness or indulgent pampering, it's yours for the taking as part of your spa getaway at Mercure St Paul's Hotel and Spa Sheffield.
