The striking new design features prominent timber poles cladding the outside of the hotel’s two blocks with local stone cladding at the lower level. The design has been developed to appease local concerns about the hotel's impact on the countryside.

The new hotel will support existing projects and future developments at the Eden  Project, as well as providing a  venue for conferences and events.

If approved by Cornwall Council construction could start in late 2017 with the hotel opening in April 2018.

The Eden Project originally received planning permission for a hotel in June 2015. A revised design was submitted in May 2016 with additional facilities which was later withdrawn following adverse comments about the visual impact and scale of the proposals.
