Broadacre House to be given £5m makeover by Premier Inn

£5 million will be spent by Premier Inn in developing the former Yorkshire Water building Broadacre House in Vicar Lane into a hotel. The hotel will create 70 new jobs in the city centre. The ten-storey tower will undergo refurbishment and open for business as a 118 bed hotel at the end of November.

Kevin Murray, acquisition manager (north) for Whitbread Hotels and Restaurants, which owns the hotel chain, said: “Premier Inn is the biggest budget hotel chain in the UK today and we are on a mission to bring great quality rooms and great value to even more locations across the country. Investing in Bradford is a superb opportunity for us.

“It means regenerating an important city centre site and transforming it into an attractive hotel. It also means Whitbread creating 70 new jobs as we build our future in the city.”

The Premier Inn will join the recently opened Jurys Inn in the city centre as Bradford is undergoing somewhat of a boom in the hotel industry.
