for Hospitality

There is no modern hotel in the town centre of Huddersfield, and only The HD One site truly provides the scope to serve both the business and weekend recreational and sporting markets.

The award winning Galpharm Stadium, located next to The HD One, generates over half a million visits per annum alone, hosting year round sporting, conferencing and entertainment activity.

The HD One will encompass a range of further leisure attractions, including a casino, to capitalise on this existing traffic, and to attract more besides - the potential is for The HD One to generate over 4m visits per annum. 

The chosen hotel position offers a superb riverside setting adjoining a main entrance and extensive parking, coupled with the serene backdrop of Kilner Bank. The hotel is close to the excitement and activity of the main development, yet is prominent to the town centre, with excellent potential for brand signage.

Offering 340 feet (105m) of river frontage to the Colne, the site is elevated and offers distant views. A short taxi ride or even a stroll from the town centre and Huddersfield’s historic railway station, The HD One hotel will also be served by the public transport provision associated with the leisure development.

The submitted planning application for The HD One envisages a hotel of up to 150 well appointed bedrooms across four floors, with parking for 350 cars immediately adjoining, and a further 530 spaces nearby. Being in outline, the application is only illustrative of the potential of The HD One hotel.

The Galpharm Stadium is an architectural prize winner, and The HD One follows that lead. The opportunity for the hotel is to respond to the importance of the site with a notable design which elevates Huddersfield as the leisure destination for West Yorkshire and beyond.    

The hotel development opportunity will be available from the start of The HD One project, and the access road serving both hotel and residential sites will be in the first construction phase.
