N锘縠w Quayside hotel backed by planners
A new hotel and restaurant looks set to open on Newcastle's Quayside after winning the backing of city planners.
The team behind the Cow Hollow Hotel in Manchester's Northern Quarter have won permission to take over the derelict Tyneside building.
Under plans approved by Newcastle City Council, the Grade II-listed Eldon Chambers building will be revamped.
The former law offices, vacant since 2016, will become a 26-bedroom hotel, with a restaurant and bar.
Granting planning permission for the development on Wednesday, the city council said that the hotel project would 鈥減rotect the building鈥檚 historic significance鈥.
Approval had previously been granted in 2016 to convert the building, which dates back to 1833 and began life as a merchant traders鈥 office, into a hotel, but that never went ahead and the permission lapsed.
Now the developers are promising a 鈥渢otal refurbishment鈥 that will give future guests a 鈥渕ore luxury stay鈥 than the hotel brands already on the Quayside, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said. Newcastle design firm Collective Design said there would be a "total refurbishment of the building" with the exterior "untouched aside from signage and repairs in line with listed building policy".
