Plans have been submitted to convert the former Coventry Telegraph building into a 1950s-style boutique hotel.

The design of the hotel would celebrate the immediate post-war architectural style of the rebuilt Coventry which resulted from its devastation during the last war.

The 2.5-acre site would include around 100 bedrooms, a ground floor restaurant and bar, meeting rooms and events suites, penthouse suites and possibly a rooftop bar.

If the application is approved construction could start in 2019 with completion scheduled for the first half of 2020. This would be just in time for Coventry to celebrate its UK City of Culture year in 2021.
