Hotel Developments in Doncaster
Ramada Doncaster is a new 4 star 130-bedroom hotel being developed on Chase Park in Doncaster. The hotel will include a restaurant, bar and conference
facilities. Building work is expected to start in April with an opening
planned for 2008.

Chase Park is a 200-acre greenfield development site located approximately 7
miles north west of Doncaster town centre, just off the A1(M) at junction
38. It is one of the largest development sites in the North of England and
includes future new distribution centres for both B&Q and Asda.

The development of Robin Hood Airport, as well as major regeneration
projects has highlighted Doncaster as a key strategic location. The
announcement from Chase Park comes hot on the heels of two other new hotel
schemes planned in Doncaster. Highfishergate is a new £12
million,122-bedroom hotel planned for the town centre. A stone's throw away
from the Minster church, it will be the first hotel to be built in the town
for 40 years. Whilst in December it was announced that Arena Leisure,
operators of Doncaster Racecourse, are in talks with the Millennium and
Copthorne group to operate a new four star hotel at the Racecourse. It will incorporate 120 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar and conference facilities.
This is phase two of an ongoing major redevelopment of the racecourse, the
first stage of which opens later in 2007 and will include a new grandstand plus
new conference and exhibition facilities.

Completion of both these hotels is also expected in 2008, pending planning
permission.
