Construction work is set to get underway later this year on a new hotel in Birmingham. Planning consent has been granted for the new ‘Left Bank’ scheme near Brindleyplace in the city.

The development will include the construction an 18-storey, 180-bedroom INNSIDE hotel along with a ground floor restaurant and cafe. The scheme will also include a 22-storey residential block to the rear plus retail outlets.

The site is located at the junction of Broad Street, Sheepcote Street and Oozells Way and is currently being used as a temporary car park.

Melia Hotels have just opened their first UK INNSIDE hotel in central Manchester with 208 bedrooms.
