The 140-bedroom Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Stoke-on-Trent’s Smithfield development has reached its full height and is the first for the Hilton brand in the city.

Smithfield is a partnership between Genr8 and Stoke-on-Trent City Council, and to date has boosted the local economy by over £80m of GVA per annum.

Genr8 Developments has also released CGI images of the restaurant and bar areas Hilton Garden Inn, designed by ICA, which is currently under construction at Genr8’s Smithfield development in Hanley.

Richard Ingham, partner at Genr8, said: “Bringing the Hilton brand to Stoke-on-Trent is a significant step and we’re delighted to reach this important milestone.

“It was always important to us that the hotel was of the highest possible quality, in keeping with the rest of the Smithfield scheme and reflective of the ambitious regeneration the city is currently undergoing.”

Work began on the hotel in Spring 2018 as Genr8 appointed Pochin as the main contractor for the project and is expected to be completed towards the end of the year.
