Refurbishment and re-branding for hotel in historic listed building
Hospitality group Accor said Barnsley’s Tankersley Manor Hotel has been rebranded to a Mercure, following an extensive redesign and refurbishment.
The property, now called Mercure Barnsley Tankersley Manor Hotel, is a former 17th Century Grade II listed residence. It retains much of the original character including oak beams and Yorkshire stone walls.
The hotel is in Church Lane, Tankersley and is just off the M1, around 10 miles from both Barnsley and Sheffield Railway Stations.
It features 98 guest rooms, a restaurant and a spa with a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and treatment rooms. The hotel also offers 12 separate meeting and event rooms with capacity ranging from 15 to 400 people.
Cristina de Oliveira-Frewen, SVP franchise operations, Accor Northern Europe, said: “We are delighted to have rebranded the historic Tankersley Manor to a Mercure.
“This is our eighth Mercure opening in 2019 and the first Accor hotel for the owners, our new partners. By the end of the year the Mercure brand will have grown to more than 90 hotels in the UK and remains the mid-market brand of choice for franchise.
“The hotel now offers guests all the internationally recognisable aspects of a Mercure within the setting of a beautiful historic building. With easy access to Barnsley, Leeds and Sheffield as well as the Peak District we are confident the rebrand will expand the appeal of this hotel still further with business and leisure visitors.”
