London’s famous Trocadero building on Piccadilly Circus is to be developed into a 583-room Ibis hotel by Accor.
According to a report in the Evening Standard, work has already begun on the hotel which will open in 2017.
It will be called the Ibis Styles Piccadilly Circus and its developers have promised ‘a hint of humour perfectly matching the electric eccentricity of the Trocadero’.
It replaces earlier plans for a Japanese-style pod hotel on the same site.
This hotel will be priced at between £100 and £150 a night.
Accor is also developing a nearby building, overlooking Leicester Square, into an 80-room MGallery hotel, scheduled to open in late 2016.
Both sites are owned and will be developed by property company Criterion Capital.
