The Eden Project has unveiled plans for a new £6million 115-bedroom hotel for visitors to its site at Bodelva near St Austell in Cornwall.

The hotel would be a timber-clad structure, similar in style to Eden’s Foundation Building which sits outside of the main visitor area. It would be designed to blend into the countryside with the highest standards of accessibility, energy-efficiency and sustainability.

The proposed hotel is intended to support Eden’s activities including hosting future conference events and the annual Eden Sessions series of concerts.

Plans have been submitted to Cornwall Council.
