easyHotel has revealed plans to expand in Yorkshire with a proposal to convert a former Primark store in Sheffield into a 131-bedroom hotel.

The retail store has closed its site in High Street in the centre of Sheffield prior to opening a new store at Sheffield’s Meadowhall complex.

easyHotel would be spread across three floors of the five-storey building with bedrooms from the second level upwards. Commercial elements would occupy the lower floors with a gym planned for the basement.

easyHotel currently operates six hotels in London plus properties in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Luton and Croydon.

France-based Experimental Group operate a group of bars and restaurants across Europe and in New York including three bars in London.

Experimental Group will make its first venture into the UK hotel market in early 2017 opening the Henrietta Hotel with 18 bedrooms in the heart of Covent Garden in London.

Experimental Group is partnering with Michellin-starred chef Ollie Dabbous to open a new destination restaurant in the Henrietta Hotel.

The new 80-cover restaurant will be situated across the ground and first floors of the hotel. The Dabbous restaurant will feature a simple and seasonal, ingredient-led menu with a French influence.

Henrietta Hotel will also feature a 60-cover basement cocktail bar plus a 60-cover private members' club.

Warwick Conferences will open The Slate, their new £5.3million lakefront venue on the University of Warwick campus, in early December 2016.

The Slate includes a 650sq-mt flat-floor blank canvas space with capacity for 400 delegates seated and will be available on an exclusive-use basis so it can be customised to meet individual needs.

The Slate is adjacent to Scarman and Radcliffe, the existing training and conference venues at Warwick Conferences.

Delegates at The Slate will have access to Warwick Conferences’ 358 hotel-style bedrooms at the Scarman and Radcliffe conference centres as well as access to the University’s sports facilities, including a gym, pool and sauna.

New designs for the proposed £8.5 million, 109-bedroom hotel at the Eden Project in Cornwall have been published.

The striking new design features prominent timber poles cladding the outside of the hotel’s two blocks with local stone cladding at the lower level. The design has been developed to appease local concerns about the hotel's impact on the countryside.

The new hotel will support existing projects and future developments at the Eden Project, as well as providing a venue for conferences and events.

If approved by Cornwall Council construction could start in late 2017 with the hotel opening in April 2018.

The Eden Project originally received planning permission for a hotel in June 2015. A revised design was submitted in May 2016 with additional facilities which was later withdrawn following adverse comments about the visual impact and scale of the proposals.
