Plans to transform a closed down Nottingham care home into a hotel have been praised as 'brilliant'. The former Acacia Care Home on Sherwood Rise could be turned into a new 48-bed hotel, if plans are approved by Nottingham City Council.
The building was previously used as a care home, but closed in late 2022. Planning documents outlined there would also be a TV lounge, coffee shop, kitchen and salon inside the new hotel.
Local residents generally thought the conversion would be a positive development for the area. Wendy Williams, 69, who works as a translator and lives across the road from the prospective hotel building, was enthusiastic about the idea. "I think that's a brilliant choice for this area - that is probably the best possible option for the building. We thought it might be turned into student accommodation or more flats.
