Hotel planned for landmark tower block in Wolverhampton city centre
A 90-bed hotel has been earmarked for a landmark multi-storey building in central Wolverhampton, with artists' impressions suggesting the hotel will be a Travelodge.
According to the images on the Bankfoot APAM website, Mander House could be redeveloped into a Travelodge as part of phased proposals for the tower block by overseas investors.
A spokeswoman for Travelodge told the Express & Star: "We are unable to provide a comment on this at this time, however Travelodge does have an active requirement to open a new hotel in Wolverhampton."
The high-rise office block sits above the Mander Shopping Centre and was debated at a Wolverhampton Council meeting in December 2022.
Conservative group leader Councillor Wendy Thompson said she understood the building was in line to become a hotel.
She added that "no-one knew who owned the building or what it was being used for", as ownership had changed over the past few years.
Now, development management specialists Bankfoot APAM claim that proposals have been made for the tower block to be turned into a chain of the budget hotel, with space also planned for food and beverage businesses.
