Plans are underway to transform a former Brewers Fayre site in Blackpool into 15 new hotel rooms as part of Premier Inn’s expansion strategy.
- The closure of numerous Brewers Fayre and Beefeater restaurants is part of a nationwide initiative by Premier Inn to repurpose spaces for hotel accommodation.
- External changes to the Yeadon Way property will include modifications to doors and windows, removing an outdoor play area, and converting the existing restaurant and staff quarters.
- Authorities have granted approval using delegated powers, ensuring the new hotel rooms meet spatial and amenity standards, complete with en suite facilities.
- The reconfiguration allows guests to move between reception and rooms without exposure to weather conditions, improving overall accessibility.
Premier Inn is set to convert the former Brewers Fayre restaurant in Blackpool into 15 additional hotel rooms, following approval of the plans by local authorities. This is part of a broader national strategy to shut down several of Premier Inn’s Brewers Fayre and Beefeater outlets with the aim of expanding hotel facilities.
Significant changes will be made to the building’s structure at the Yeadon Way property. These changes include altering the ground floor’s doors and windows, removing an existing outdoor play area, and transforming the current restaurant and staff quarters into new hotel rooms. A dedicated breakfast area will also be introduced within the updated facility.
Authorities have endorsed this development through delegated powers, ensuring that the proposed rooms not only meet the required floorspace standards for double bedrooms but also come with en suite bathrooms. Each room will be equipped with at least one window to provide natural light and ventilation.
One notable improvement is that guests will be able to transition from the main reception area to their new rooms without needing to step outdoors, thanks to newly designed covered corridors. This alleviates concerns regarding adverse weather impacts on hotel guests moving between facilities.
While the restaurant and main hotel building were previously separate entities, causing inconveniences for guests seeking meals, the seamless integration brought about by these adjustments promises an enhanced guest experience without compromising the quality of amenities offered.
These strategic changes signify Premier Inn’s commitment to enhancing accommodation offerings while repurposing existing assets effectively.
