Massive Roof UpgradeCompleted at Empress Building's Self Check-In Hotel Suites

Major Investment Secures Future of Iconic Mexborough Venue

The Empress Building continues to evolve. A significant new upgrade has just been completed. The roof is now stronger, warmer, and built to last.

This huge roofing project adds yet another layer of excellence to our self check-in hotel suites. It's part of our promise to deliver top-quality accommodation that combines heritage with comfort.

150mm of Insulation: A Game Changer

Every guest room beneath the new roof will now benefit from 150mm of high-grade insulation. That means warmer winters, cooler summers, and lower energy use all year round.

Guests will enjoy a more peaceful and cosy stay, with improved soundproofing as a bonus.

Say Goodbye to Leaks — Forever

This isn't just a patch-up. It's a full roof replacement using state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship. The result? A fully watertight finish that ensures the building stays dry for decades to come.

Rain or shine, our guests will rest easy.

Heritage Meets Innovation

We’ve always believed that great buildings deserve great care. That’s why we’ve invested heavily to preserve the Empress Building’s charm while modernising its features.

This roof overhaul is the latest in a long line of upgrades — and certainly one of the most ambitious to date.

A Project Worth Every Penny

Yes, it was a major undertaking. Yes, it required time, skill, and serious investment. But the Empress Building deserves nothing less.

We believe in preserving its legacy while creating premium experiences for every visitor. This new roof is a testament to that belief.

Guests Already Feeling the Difference

Our first guests under the new roof have already noticed a dramatic change. The rooms feel quieter, warmer, and even more inviting.

It's not just a structural improvement — it's a complete enhancement of the guest experience.

More Upgrades Coming Soon

This is far from the end. With the self check-in suites continuing to attract new visitors weekly, we’re already planning more enhancements.

We’re constantly working to make the Empress Building not just a venue, but a standout destination.
