New Jury's hotel set for south London
Irish-owned hotel group Jurys Doyle looks set to open a new three-star hotel in Croydon, south London.
The proposal, to build a 14-storey hotel with 240 bedrooms on the site of an existing 1960s office block, was given the go-ahead by Croydon council's planning committee last night.
But permission is still subject to Jurys agreeing to make a financial contribution towards a programme of improvements to Croydon town centre.
Jurys Doyle has paid some £3m for the freehold of the building, according to a database of London property compiled by EGi Research. The new hotel will include a restaurant, bar and meeting rooms.
Jurys Doyle already has three hotels in London and is currently developing a fourth, on Great Russell Street near the British Museum. It will have 170 bedrooms and is due to open next month.
EGi Research is part of Reed Business Information, also publisher of Caterer & Hotelkeeper.
