Malmaison Hotel du Vin group is planning to open in Stratford-on-Avon. The group is aiming to restore two Georgian buildings in Rother Street - owned by the Stratford Town Trust - into a stylish 48 bedroom Hotel du Vin.

If planning consent is obtained it is expected Hotel du Vin Stratford on Avon would open by the end of 2016. Facilities at the hotel will include meeting and private dining rooms, a Bistro and a separate banqueting room with the capacity to seat up to 80 diners. The development will be in keeping with the Grade II-listed status of the buildings.

Rother Street is at the centre of the Rother Market area of Stratford-upon-Avon, a five minute walk from Stratford on Avon station.
