A new four-star hotel could be built in Coventry in time for it to take on the City of Culture title in 2021
The city council is set to spend more than £1m preparing land for a developer to build a Hotel Indigo at Friargate.
The land for the hotel sits opposite the council's headquarters - and would be handed over to developer Wylam at a discount to try and kickstart the development.
The hotel would have about 100 bedrooms, along with a fine dining restaurant and themed bars, the council said.
"The fact we can now attract a four-star hotel investment says a lot about how far the city has come. They believe Coventry is the right place for them and that sends an important signal to others." Councillor Jim O'Boyle, Coventry City Council
