The proposed hotel will include 165 bedrooms over five floors, together with a restaurant and sky bar plus conference and events space. An on-site leisure complex will include a fitness suite.

The £22million development will also include car parking for hotel guests as well enhanced Leicester Tigers conference, corporate and supporter facilities.

The Welford Road Stadium includes almost 3,500 square metres of events space over 35 suites. It is one of the largest conference venues in the East Midlands.

Raffles was bought by Accor Hotels last year, along with sister brands Fairmont and Swissotel.

Close to 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, the Old War Office was bought by Hinduja Group December 2014. Planning permission was granted for a multi-purpose development including 125 guest rooms (of which 40% are suites), 88 private residences, restaurants and other amenities.

Completion of the new hotel is expected in just over three years.

The Grade II-listed Old War Office, with its 1100 rooms across seven floors plus two miles of corridors, was completed in 1906.

It has been the office for many of the United Kingdom’s most important and influential political and military leaders of the twentieth century, notably Sir Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, Lord Kitchener, Herbert Asquith and T.E. Lawrence.

It was also the haunt of the British Secret Service who had their own, more discreet entrance.

The Saxon Crown opened with 12 bedrooms, two conference rooms, a ground-floor bar plus a beer garden in 2014.

Wetherspoon are now proposing to covert the upper floors of the shop next door into a new 30-bedroom extension.

A decision on the plan is expected to be made by Corby Borough Council later this year.

The Saxon Crown is situated in a 1960s landmark building in Corby. The building was formerly an East Midlands Co-Operative building. Its 12 bedrooms are luxuriously fitted and furnished with an HD LCD smart TV, hospitality tray, plenty of plug points, USB charging points and rainfall showers in the en-suite bathrooms.

The Saxon Crown is located in Elizabeth Street in Corby town centre.
