St Ives is covered in two distinct regional contexts: the coastal tourism hotspot in Cornwall and the historic market town in Cambridgeshire. In Cornwall, we report on hotel developments and planning activity, including Whitbread’s successful appeal to build a 90-room Premier Inn, a scheme that has drawn local opposition due to its scale and location. In Cambridgeshire, coverage focuses on business and leisure accommodation in a well-connected commuter town, including transactions like the Dolphin Hotel’s acquisition by Aston Management Company. This archive offers insights into regional hotel growth, investment, and planning dynamics in both locations.
