Plans revealed for 14-storey, 331 room hotel
Property management business Marrico has submitted a planning application for a new hotel development at Sovereign Square, Leeds.
The company is proposing to redevelop the last remaining site at the high profile Sovereign Square development. The scheme will provide a 14-storey hotel catering for business and leisure guests. There will be premium rooms along with longer stay rooms.
If approved, the hotel would feature 331 rooms, an on-site gym and meeting facilities. A bar, restaurant and coffee shop at ground floor, fronting the square, would cater to guests and visitors to the city.
It has been designed by Leeds-based architectural practice DLA Design, with the façade taking inspiration from the surrounding architecture and Leeds’ merchandising and textile history.
The project would support around 190 construction jobs over the life of the project with the completed hotel creating 80 full-time jobs upon completion.
Mark Barnes, partner at Marrico, said: “We are pleased to be able to share plans for a new hotel within the final remaining development site at Sovereign Square. The site is superbly located for hotel use from both business and visitors to the city being adjacent to the station, business core and the vibrant retail and leisure offer Leeds provides.”
Marrico is working with RBA as cost consultants and project monitor, Curtins as structural engineers, Quod planning consultants, CSD as M&E consultants and Reform acting as landscaping architects.
