An abandoned car rental space in the city centre is set to be transformed into a swanky new hotel under new plans.
The vacant Hertz building at 10 Picardy Place could be demolished, to make way for a 51-bed hotel with ‘associated facilities’. Within the plans, developers have said the brief calls for a centrally located hotel ‘adjacent to tram and public transport systems’.
The new hotel will centre around an open courtyard, with the entrance from Picardy Place made by stone steps. Applicants have said their main priority would be reviving the ‘historic Georgian frontage’ which can be seen on other buildings on the street.
