Plans for 44-bedroom hotel in Caerleon near the new International Convention Centre

27 January 2020

Plans have been revealed for a hotel in Caerleon, Newport, near the new International Convention Centre Wales.

A public consultation was launched late last year on a proposed 44-bedroom hotel planned to be built in the existing car park of the Los Reyes Tapas and Wine Bar on Belmont Hill in Caerleon.

The three-floor hotel will include undercroft parking on the ground floor, 44-bedrooms on the upper storeys and an annexe with a reception and staff offices.

Under the plans the development will take place on part of the car park of the tapas and wine bar, which was formerly the King’s Arms pub.

A design and access statement says the hotel will be a “distinctly modern building”, with a design “respectful of its location.”

It is intended that guests would use the existing restaurant at the site, with no additional restaurant, dining or bar facilities proposed within the new building.
