Plans for a new boutique hotel on a regeneration site in Leeds have been recommended for approval.

The hotel is earmarked for the first phase of a regeneration site on the northern fringe of Leeds city centre in a building last occupied by Centrica. It will be located next to Bridge Street and close to the Victoria Gate scheme in the city.

Plans envisage a recladding of the existing 12-storey tower to form a 182-bedroom hotel with a restaurant and gym. The development is expected to be a three or four star standard hotel although no hotel operator has been confirmed.
