In brief

Two underutilised buildings - Smithfield House & Wolverley House - are to be demolished and redeveloped to provide 255 hotel bedrooms.

A 12-storey, 80-bed aparthotel, and a 9-story 175-bed lifestyle hotel would be erected, divided by the pedestrianised Upper Mill Lane, which will get £107,000 in public realm upgrades.

With the addition of an enclosed rooftop terrace area at Smithfield House and a rooftop public bar with its own independent entrance at Wolverley House, each structure will service commercial ground-level purposes, including café and restaurant space.

The owners of the site, which sits on the border of the burgeoning Smithfield masterplan and has been in the works for almost three years, have shifted their attention to establishing a new attraction for the emerging neighbourhood, with the buildings struggling to attract commercial office tenants.
