Peterborough

A Coronavirus success: construction continues on the 160-room, focused service Hilton Garden Inn, due for completion in 2022.

Work officially began on the Peterborough Hilton Garden Inn in summer 2020, with a turf cutting ceremony signalling the first steps to realising an incredible, modern Hilton hotel in the heart of the city. As the centrepiece to the prestigious Fletton Quays development – the first step in a sustainable and revitalised city centre – the hotel will offer 160 bedrooms, four flexible function rooms, a state of the art Hilton Fitness Centre, and a riverside restaurant and bar. The Sky Bar that crowns the hotel will provide unparalleled views, including the nearby River Nene and Peterborough Cathedral, and will establish the hotel as a social destination in the city as consumers are opting for luxury hotels to spend their leisure time.

Continuing safe construction through a global pandemic is no small feat, but the rewards will soon flow as the world bounces back from Covid-19. The hotel will create additional jobs and investment from local visitors and travellers. The Hilton Garden Inn perfectly aligns with the city’s ambitious growth plans which has already seen the launch of ultra fast trains that now link Peterborough to central London in just 35 minutes.

As the 6th fastest growing city in 2018, Peterborough has been in dire need of a luxury hotel to serve its growing number of business visitors. As more travellers prioritise experiences over possessions, hoteliers are focusing on upgrading their services to meet this demand. Peterborough’s Hilton Garden Inn – and its focus on customer needs – is ideally situated to supply that added value to hotel experiences that travellers are coming to expect.
