ShefStealth Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hasn't the BT building just had/having a facelift? I think it looks much better now. It's becoming student accomodation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of info in the above but the scheme is far more appealing than 7stone. To be completed by 2019. Not sure but that's probably on the Iranian calendar.

Joe Totale Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Well looks like the Grosvenor House Hotel is finally coming down: "A hotel considered in its heyday as one of Sheffield’s most luxurious places to stay is finally set to be knocked down - more than five years after the last guests checked out." Demolition starts December. http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/business/business-news/checking-out-at-former-sheffield-hotel-as-demolition-finally-nears-1-7440843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I remember it in the early 70s, it really was a class establishment, like the Hallam Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penistone999 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Delays over announcing new developer for Retail Quarter. Comrade Dore and Boy Blunder Bramall flapping around trying to put a positive spin on the delays.

Hots on Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 This really surprised me: At one time it was the city’s only four-star hotel, and hosted celebrities and royalty, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles and Diana, in plush surroundings boasting 102 bedrooms, a ballroom, restaurant, bar and function room. And simultaneously pound shops and Aldi's are springing up everywhere. Its all part of the socialist de-bourgeoisification of Sheffield. I know de-bourgeoisification isn't a word but it should be.
