A Nottingham hotel will soon be revamped in an attempt to make it the "premier events and hotel venue in the East Midlands". The Colwick Hall Hotel on Racecourse Road has been given permission to expand, adding three new buildings to increase the number of bedrooms by 40 and create a banqueting suite, with Nottingham City Council green lighting the project on April 1.
With 16 bedrooms at present, the current number of guestrooms would be more than doubled by the move. The new facilities will be designed to cater for weddings, balls and formal dinners and will replace the marquee which had previously been used at the hall, which had in the past had been revealed to have been lacking the required planning permission.
The hotel operates in tandem with a function and conferencing business so the upkeep of the listed landmark hall can be financed. Officials behind the extension have previously stated that they want to "reaffirm the reputation of Colwick Hall Hotel as the premier events and hotel venue in the East Midlands".
