Is this in direct response to the proposed arena next door?
That's an interesting move by them, you'd kind of think it was related to it, but also maybe in response to Premier Inn's expansion in the city of late...hotel down the road currently being built for example. I haven't looked at the application yet, but is it encroaching on the land for that military medical history building?
[Edit] Just read the application and it's within their existing land boundary.
The city does seem to be going through a certain amount of hotel room growth though in fairness. I'm not sure if there's a market for it at the moment, but wouldn't it be nice to see another 4* or 5* operator coming to the city, hopefully in the John Street plot.
