Plans to rebuild the Abode Hotel in Exeter, better known as the Royal Clarence Hotel, look set for approval when they are up for discussion by Exeter City Council next week.

The Royal Clarence Hotel dates from 1769 and is thought to be the oldest hotel in Britain. It was destroyed in a serious fire last year.

Proposals would see the historic frontage of the hotel restored, with a modern building behind with 74 bedrooms, including an additional floor at roof level with views over Cathedral Green.

Surviving features such as the distinctive iron work and stained glass windows would be preserved and restored.

ABode Exeteris located in Cathedral Yard in the heart of Exeter.
