Plans to convert the Travelodge were approved by Nottingham City Council in January 2022
Hotel chain Travelodge has issued a statement over the student plans hanging over its city centre building. .
Those behind the proposals said the conversion of the 10-storey New City House building would provide "high-quality stylish student apartments" in the heart of Nottingham by repurposing a site which is currently "tired" looking and "in need of repair". These apartments were planned to be created largely utilising the existing hotel room layout and by creating additional accommodation from the existing first floor bar/café area.
But nearly a year and a half after the proposals were passed, the hotel remains open and the granted designs have not been implemented. In an update Travelodge explained: "Our five Nottingham based hotels including our Nottingham Central Travelodge hotel situated at Maid Marian Way are all trading and getting geared up for a busy summer season.
Nottinghamshire Live has attempted to contact applicant Nottingham Hotel Assets Limited and Nottingham Hotel Assets for comment.
"The location of the site is inherently sustainable as it is already supported by local infrastructure and services." The update from Travelodge comes as the company, which employs 12,000 staff and has 595 hotels, has reportedly been put up for sale.
