Info

The number of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels (as listed on Tripadvisor) remained the same since2011 in Sheffield. We were the only Core City to remain unchanged, with all other citiesexcept Leeds showing increases in the total hotel numbers.This means our offer is static at a time when most other cities are increasing numbers,meaning a key driver for spend in the city is not improving and becoming comparativelyworse.On the review ratings given by members of the public, Sheffield showed a substantialincrease in the number of people who rated their stay at 4 out of 5 or more, putting us in thetop three on this measure and the second highest city for stays ranked 4.5 or above.Restaurant Offer:Source: Tripadvisor (October 2012)All Core Cities showed an increase in the number of restaurants reviewed by people onTripadvisor.The proportion of our restaurants at the higher-end of the price scale has increased sincelast year. However, this is true for all other places reviewed and therefore we still have thelowest proportion of high-end restaurants of all the Core Cities.21
This measure (and a number of others being used) are for Sheffield as a whole, rather thanjust the City Centre. We know if we looked at restaurants in particular within the S1 postcode,our offer would look significantly reduced.Again, this is a key driver of spend that needs to attract affluent people to use the city centrealong with a higher level of spend to ensure the economic contribution of the city.RetailRetail ranking comparison:Source: CACI’s Retail FootprintThis from the CACI Retail Footprint, which is calculated based on the number and value ofcredit and debit card transactions recorded from a major high street bank. It is updatedannually and analyses current and future shopping patterns, classifying retail centres intoover 50 different types according to retail mix, market positioning and evolving shopping role.Five of the eight core cities are in the top-eight retail centres in the UK, whereas Sheffieldcurrently ranks 20 th and has dropped one place from the year before. Approximately half ofthe top twenty retail centres saw spend drop between 2010 & 2011, included Sheffield, whichalso dropped to a rank of 20 from 19 the year before. Only one of the Core Cities(Manchester) saw a growth in retail spend over this period.Although this comparison sees Meadowhall fall two places in the ranking for 2011, they sawa small growth over the 12 months shown. Even combining retail spend of Meadowhall andSheffield sees us significantly behind Manchester (excluding the Trafford Centre).All of the city centres above Sheffield in the CACI Ranking have benefited from retailinvestment of the scale of NRQ over the last ten to fifteen years for instance;22
