Planning permission has been granted in Lincoln to transform a major retail site into a mixed-use hotel and retail development.
A new, five-storey building is planned on the site which will include a 150-bedroom, four-star lifestyle hotel above retail space at street level. The site is currently occupied by House of Fraser. The existing department store is to be demolished.
The hotel will include a restaurant, bar, meeting and events spaces. It will also feature a new public courtyard with a link to the high street.
The new hotel will be located directly opposite Lincoln’s Grade I-listed 16th-century Guildhall.
