Club Submits Hotel Planning Application For Accu Stadium
– Huddersfield Town submit planning application for hotel development
– Club partner with Hilton Garden Inn for Accu Stadium expansion
Planning application has been officially submitted for an expansion to the Accu Stadium that will see a 141-room Hilton Garden Inn hotel developed in HD1, pending planning permission.
Adjoined to the Terriers Together North Stand, the proposed hotel would redevelop what was formerly offices and facilities for Kirklees Active Leisure, bringing 141 new generous hotel rooms to the area, including the remodelling of existing premium spaces and 14 match day boxes.
The current designs feature a 100-seat restaurant and bar, an impressive glass atrium and gym facilities for guests. Incorporating the existing H Town within the space, the Club have worked closely with architects to create multipurpose public spaces across the ground floor that can be utilised on match days in HD1, giving supporters a greater depth of option and experience when joining us at home.
Partnering with Hilton hotels with their Hilton Garden Inn brand, their ability to seamlessly blend sports and leisure can already be seen successfully in action at their Silverstone location and at multiple locations around the UK including football, cricket and motor racing stadiums.
Current construction logistics would see our Terriers Together North Stand closed for one full season in 2027/28, while access to the remainder of the stadium, turnstiles and concourses would remain unaffected. Any supporters who may be impacted will be contacted in due course once timelines are confirmed.
Our first major step in the overall development of the wider Accu Stadium site since the Club took full ownership of our home and the wider 53-acre surrounding site in September 2025, the hotel underlines our commitment to regenerating our corner of HD1 for the benefit of our town, whilst creating enhanced revenue streams throughout the year for Huddersfield Town.
Huddersfield Town Owner and Chairman Kevin Nagle commented:
“I am incredibly excited to announce that we have officially submitted the planning application for our hotel development at the Accu Stadium. “This is the culmination of months of hard work behind the scenes. We have been working closely with experts to focus on what would benefit not only Huddersfield Town the most, but the town of Huddersfield as well. We have teamed up with Hilton Hotels to bring the Hilton Garden Inn brand, as they share our same vision that goes far beyond the building itself. Having acquired the full 53-acre site surrounding our home in HD1 last year, this marks the true start of our first stage of development and initial steps toward becoming a real year-round destination and venue, breathing new life and possibilities into the Club and our stadium. I have stated from the first time I stepped into Huddersfield just over three years ago that the potential is here. I fell in love with the place from day one. And with the help of the team we’ve assembled, we are fully focused on turning that potential into a reality for all to benefit from. This is a massive next step.”
Huddersfield Town supporters will remain updated throughout the progress of our proposed hotel development on official Club channels across our website and social media. Please direct any enquiries to hotel@htafc.com.
