Plans for the UK’s first floating hotel have been unveiled.
Premier Inn has announced details of the ‘flotel’, to be built in Hartlepool Marina. The project will be the first budget hotel to be purpose-built above water.
The hotel is designed to move with the tide and will be connected to the quayside via a pedestrian ramp and an external lift.
The design was chosen so visitors can stay as close to the Marina as possible.
Premier Inn has also announced plans to build beside the Walsall Canal. The new 120-bed hotel is due to be built as part of the town’s regeneration plans.
Adrian Andrew, Walsall Council’s portfolio holder for regeneration, said: “I think the new hotel is wonderful news and it shows the confidence that the business community has in Walsall.”
