German group takes over Sheffield hotel

German group, 1912 Hotels, has secured its first UK property with the management takeover of Mercure Sheffield St Paul’s Hotel & Spa.

Overlooking the Peace Gardens and Winter Garden, the hotel is a cornerstone of Sheffield’s hospitality landscape.

“Sheffield has a spirit we really connect with,” said Audun Lekve, CEO of 1912 Hotels & Resorts. “We are proud to begin our UK journey with such a strong and iconic property at the heart of the city.”

While the hotel remains open and fully operational, guests can expect to see a gentle evolution in service, design accents, and curated moments.

“There is something special in store,” added Katharina Hohn, co-founder of 1912 Hotels. “Sheffield is the first of many steps for us in the UK and we are looking forward to sharing more very soon.”
