£10m Hotel Approved For Derry
Planning has been approved for a new £10m hotel in L'Derry.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan has announced that the 139-room hotel and retail development will be built on the former Tillie and Henderson site at Abercorn Road, Tillie's Brae and Foyle Road.
Mark H Durkan said: "This is great news for Derry. With the recent announcement by Lonely Planet that Northern Ireland is in the top 10 European travel destinations, this very significant hotel in the heart of the city will enhance choice for tourists, business travellers as well as local people.
"It occupies a pivotal location on one of the prime entrance points to the historic core from Craigavon Bridge and will, when complete, regenerate a site that has been derelict for a number of years.
"I am committed to the regeneration of Derry City as the economic heart of the North West. Planning decisions on hotels, social housing, Ebrington, the Peace Bridge and the Science Park, show my firm commitment to help shape this historic City now and in to the future."
