Plans to build a new 25-storey Bloc Hotel near Birmingham New Street Station and Grand Central shopping centre have been given the green light by city planners.
Gallan House, a 1960s office building on the corner of Hill Street and Station Street in the centre of Birmingham, will be demolished to make way for the 238-bedroom hotel.
The new Bloc Hotel will include a lobby café or restaurant at ground floor level which will operate separately to the hotel and will be open to both guests and the general public.
The Bloc Hotel at New Street Station will be the group’s third property and second development in Birmingham. The business launched initially in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter in 2011. A second Bloc Hotel followed at Gatwick Airport.
