Marick Real Estate looks set to deliver Oxford’s first aparthotel after its plans were recommended for approval.
Marick proposes to turn the site at 38-40 George Street into a 145-bedroom hotel. It has agreed a 40-year lease with Dublin-based operator Staycity. If the plans are approved, Staycity will bring its Wilde premium brand to the city for the first time.
The aparthotel will comprise a mix of studios and one bedroom flats, each featuring a fully equipped kitchen as well as space to eat and relax. The aparthotel would also have a café, lounge, gym, laundry facilities and 24-hour reception. On the ground floor, Marick has proposed a new community space.
The scheme, designed by Studio Moren, is expected to achieve BREEAM Excellent and will be all electric.
The building was previously used a cinema but the lease agreement with Odeon has expired last month.
Bidwells is advising Marick on planning.
