Holiday Inn Express Middlesbrough is set to receive a £2.2 million extension thanks to strong demand for accommodation since its opening last August.
An additional 21 bedrooms will be created meaning the hotel – which is managed by Redefine|BDL Hotels – will soon boast 159 rooms in total.
And a separate retail and restaurant area will also be constructed and run by an independent operator.
Property Developer Ashall Projects (MB) Ltd will carry out the extension – which will be funded by Sherland Property, a consortium of private investors – in partnership with Middlesbrough Council.
The Cook and Endeavour House building in Albert Road had lain vacant for 15 years until Ashall carried out the initial £12.4million development in 2014.
The latest expansion of the hotel will create 10 jobs in the restaurant.
Mark Ashall, Director of Ashall Projects, said: “Thanks to the soaring demand for rooms at Holiday Inn Express Middlesbrough, we are delighted to be extending the facilities to ensure more people can come and enjoy what Middlesbrough has to offer in comfortable surroundings.
“The demand for the next phase of the development reflects both the progress made by the Council and others in attracting businesses to the town and level of customer service provided by the staff at the hotel. It is due to complete in January 2017.”
