Leicester Tigers Rugby Club plan to develop a new hotel complex on the 1.7-acre Granby Hall car park site adjacent to their Welford Road stadium.
The proposed hotel will include 165 bedrooms over five floors, together with a restaurant and sky bar plus conference and events space. An on-site leisure complex will include a fitness suite.
The £22million development will also include car parking for hotel guests as well enhanced Leicester Tigers conference, corporate and supporter facilities.
The Welford Road Stadium includes almost 3,500 square metres of events space over 35 suites. It is one of the largest conference venues in the East Midlands.
If all goes to plan the Leicester Tigers Rugby Club hotel could be completed for the 2019/20 season.
