Plans to bring a four-star hotel to Milton Keynes has been granted, with the first phase of design plans now underway.
The 250-bed hotel, which will be located on Marlborough Gate, will include conference and meeting room services, a gym, spa and pool facilities as well as a rooftop restaurant with a viewing gallery.
The development is owned by Hotel La Tour, a privately owned British hotel company which has been building, owning and operating hotels for more than 40 years.
Mark Stuart, managing director at Hotel La Tour, said: “We are delighted to receive the green light for the Milton Keynes hotel development. Our emphasis is on quality and the entire building design team have certainly delivered above and beyond that in their plans.
“Hotel La Tour Milton Keynes will fill a much-needed luxury services gap within the area and bring life and connectivity to the Centre:MK area. It will also create approximately 200 new jobs as we recruit and develop local talent.”
International property and construction consultancy, Gleeds, is providing cost and project management services for the project and has been working with Hotel La Tour.
Brian McArdle, director at Gleeds, added: “Not only will Hotel La Tour provide luxury hotel accommodation for the city of Milton Keynes but through the construction process will help to drive the local economy and attract further inward investment into the region. We’re looking forward to work starting on site and delivering the scheme over the coming year.”
