A building in Newcastle’s Old Eldon Square is set to be converted into an aparthotel with a new cafe restaurant after developers’ plans were approved.
Two applications were placed before city planners, proposing the transformation of One Eldon Square, a Grade II star listed corner plot in Newcastle city centre which has been empty since beauty salon House of Savannah moved out a number of years ago.
The move will see 1 Old Eldon Square redeveloped by Darras Hall-based Belgravia Investment Group Ltd into 13 serviced aparthotels, spread across the first, second and third floors. The firm says the aparthotel scheme will have little to no impact on the historic fabric of the building and will secure the long-term future of the historic building.
