I think you can see the staircase from Charles Street. Its the only impressive thing about the building.

Hampton by Hilton is the Hiltons Economy brand so any of the new proposals from Welford Road to Picture House or any of the others. The only thing I noticed on the architects website was a mention of internal structural problem??? Hopefully they dont intend putting it in Connect 4

It means "Light and Dream" - so who knows?

Leicity82 · March 10th, 2008, 02:14 PM

Well if it's economy probably

. I don't think there will be any 4* coming tp SGT now.

Is it Spanish?

Lears City · March 10th, 2008, 02:15 PM

Italian

This is very interesting and potentially very exciting. The site is 88 - 90 Charles street which is right next door to the existing hotel proposal for the same developer (Norwich Union site). I can't imagine they would have two hotels next to each other but be creating a single hotel.

88 - 90 is the 3 storey unattractive brick building - (I've looked at it on Live Search but don't know how to save it into Imageshack to display - sorry). I would hope they want to demolish this building and build an extension to the Norwich Union building thus creating a significant frontage on Charles street.

As Leicity pointed out the other week there is a new application for the Norwich Union site - no docs loaded up for either proposal. This is probably why the redevelopment of the Norwich Union site hasn't kicked off.

Ooh something more to look forward!

braunstone geezer · March 26th, 2008, 06:33 PM

Leicity82 · April 1st, 2008, 07:35 PM

Renders for the proposed Charles Street hotel (extension application):

http://rcweb.leicester.gov.uk/planni...AppNo=20080430

Confirmation that it will be a 'Hilton Hampton' then.

Lears City · April 2nd, 2008, 04:18 PM

It's blue!

braunstone geezer · April 2nd, 2008, 04:34 PM

alrite its a budget hotel apparantley, but they could have spent a few more shillings on better renders rather than employ some five year old window licker from the local special needs school

Application for link to proposed hotel on Charles Street from the extended bit and 2 storey extension:

Hopefully we can get some of these hotels soon. I regularly contribute on tripadvisor and someone posted a question about reasonably priced hotels near leicester Uni. They didnt say which uni but I struggled to think of a decently priced option near DMU or Leic Uni.

Lears City · April 10th, 2008, 03:41 PM

DMU - the Travelodge next to HX is a very short walk away. They have a £29 offer I think?

Leicester Uni - Spindle Lodge, just off New Walk

jaybob · April 11th, 2008, 10:23 AM

Cheers Lears will post it on tripadvisor

Thanks

How about the Holiday Inn Express?

They are near enough?

That seedy club/snooker club building on Rutland Street is set to become a 40 bedroom hotel (no docs yet):

http://rcweb.leicester.gov.uk/planni...AppNo=20080728

Very handy for the Curve theatre goers.

Leicity82 · May 15th, 2008, 12:12 AM

The application for the proposed 14 storey hotel on Yeoman Street has been withdrawn, which is a shame:

http://rcweb.leicester.gov.uk/planni...AppNo=20072243

There would probably have been problems with it being so close to the listed Secular Hall on Humberstone Gate East.
