Plans have been submitted to the city council to transform disused offices in Leicester city centre into a 67-bedroom hotel.
The offices are located on the third floor above the Haymarket Shopping Centre and they are currently unoccupied. According to the plans, a new entrance would be created off the Centre’s third floor car park.
The new hotel joins two other projects on the drawing board:
A 250-bedroom joint Novotel hotel and Adagio aparthotel is planned near Great Central Railway station in Leicester opposite the Highcross shopping centre.
Leicester Tigers are also planning a £22million, 165-bedroom hotel next to the club's Welford Road stadium.
More details on all the projects are expected in the coming weeks and months.
