Easyhotel has acquired a listed property in Ipswich and plans to convert it into a hotel.
The budget chain plans to turn the Grade II listed building at 3-5 Northgate Street, previously used as a nightclub, into a 94-room hotel, but will need planning permission.
If approved, the group hopes to open the property next year.
"We are delighted to be investing in the vibrant cultural centre of Ipswich which is a gateway to the UK’s highly popular east coast," said CEO Guy Parsons.
"We expect to benefit from growing local business and tourism in the area as we extend our owned brand presence in the UK."
