The design, which features a 452-bedroom hotel plus apartments, was approved by the authority last week but must now win a green-light from the London mayor’s office.
Denise Hyland, Greenwich Council’s member for regeneration, enterprise and skills, said: ‘This will be the first four-star hotel east of Tower Bridge on this side of the river.
The project on the Greenwich Penionsula features a 3,000m² event space with capacity for 3,000 people and a green ‘living roof’.
The proposed hotel will feature a 3,000m² event space with dramatic views of the O2 arena – formerly the Millennium Dome.
It is thought the clear-span ballroom (40m x 75m) would be the largest bespoke space of its kind in London.
The scheme for developer AEG Europe is for a site on the north-western tip of the Greenwich Peninsula.
As hotel designs go this one is pretty uninteresting. I know I am being very critical but surly for a brand new concept Hotel & Event space this needs to have the "WOW" factor. It will follow in the footstep of the unimaginative millennium dome.
Somethings been nagging me for years - a suitable adjective for that dome thing. Ta, that fits the bill as the concept marries nicely with the "peninsular". Lord Love us, error on error and now someones tossing some mass cubes together and calling it a hotel.
Yep, wonderful, way to go.
Call me cynical, but I'm thinking you wouldn't be so enthusiastic justfacades if it was to be a hotel made out of cheese, .. yeah try making a facade out of that justfacdes.
