The ibis Budget hotel on the inner ring road at St Mary’s Gate, beside the 22-storey Veolcity Tower block, is due to open in early March.
The 126-bed hotel will include an ‘artisan-style’ cafe called Chill, selling ‘barista-prepared speciality coffee, cooked-to-order pizza and a selection of savoury and sweet bites’, along with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Proposals for an 18-storey block of student flats at the site were previously given the go-ahead but building never began.
Described as an ‘economy hotel’, it is at the opposite end of the market from the four-star former Hilton hotel at Victoria Quays, which closed before Christmas but is due to reopen in February as the Quays Hotel.
