More gym and studio space for Village Hotel, Bracknell (21/01027/FUL)
Village Hotels, the new owners of the Hilton in Bracknell, want to expand the current gym to provide a new studio room.
In a covering letter attached to the application, planning agents Lichfields argued the studio would enable the new company’s vision to create a fitness club at the site, and reposition the hotel “in a competitive market.”
It was announced that Village Hotels would be taking over the site earlier this year, with the hotel expected to reopen on December 18.
