The Empress Suites Redefine Hospitality in Mexborough

Discover The Empress Suites: a stunning transformation of Mexborough’s iconic Empress Building into luxurious accommodations, approved by Doncaster Council on 16th December 2024.

For more than a century, the Empress Building has been a cornerstone of Mexborough’s identity, embodying the town’s vibrant history and culture. Now, it embarks on a remarkable new chapter with the unveiling of The Empress Suites—luxurious accommodations that marry historical charm with modern elegance, while immersing guests in the heart of Mexborough’s rich community life.

Situated in the iconic Empress Building, The Empress Suites offer more than just luxury accommodation; they provide a gateway to Mexborough’s rich community life and cultural attractions. Guests can immerse themselves in the town’s history by visiting iconic landmarks, enjoy leisurely strolls along the scenic Dearne Valley, or experience vibrant events at the Empress Ballroom, Gorilla Beer Hall, and Imperial Music Venue. As a renowned destination for weddings, concerts, and private functions, the Empress Building stands proudly as the beating heart of Mexborough’s social and cultural scene.

A Vision of Heritage and Hospitality

For General Manager Jemma Evans, The Empress Suites are a heartfelt tribute to the building’s enduring legacy.

“Our vision has always been to celebrate Mexborough’s heritage while creating something extraordinary,” Evans said. “The Empress Suites don’t just provide a luxurious place to stay; they offer an authentic connection to the town’s history and culture. Guests leave with more than memories—they leave with a deep appreciation of what makes Mexborough so special.”

Jason Mace, CEO of Gala Tent, the UK’s largest supplier of commercial marquees and gazebos, and owner of the Empress Building, highlighted the broader impact of the project.

“The Empress Building has always been about bringing people together, and The Empress Suites are an extension of that vision,” Mace said. “They combine comfort and heritage in a way that resonates deeply with guests. By honouring the past and investing in Mexborough’s future, we’re creating a destination that people will fall in love with—and return to, time and time again.”
