Staying in Sheffield
Sheffield built its name on steel and cutlery, and it sits right at the gateway to the Peak District National Park. Visitors find a walkable centre with shops and theatres, a former industrial quarter at Kelham Island now filled with independent food and drink venues, and leafy suburbs such as Ecclesall Road and Broomhill with cafes, bars and pubs. The city has two universities and a busy music scene, so there is plenty to do alongside the museums and gardens. The hotels on this shortlist are spread widely. Leopold Hotel and Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield by IHG sit in the city centre, 0.1 km and 1.1 km from the middle, and Brocco on the Park is 2.4 km out.
