Cubex Land alongside Palmer Capital are delighted to announce the opening of the Premier Inn at their site in Bristol, Finzels Reach. The hotel comprises 168 bedrooms and a ground floor restaurant at Temple Cross. The hotel has brought circa 80 jobs to the area as well as high quality accommodation for both business and leisure visitors.
The grand opening of the hotel is at 2pm on Friday 20th October. Clearly word has spread across the country as all of the rooms are fully booked in its first weekend of opening.
The hotel sits within a prominent position in one of the largest mixed use regeneration projects in the South West. The 4.7 acre site has a rich history – originally this central site was occupied by Courage Brewery, who withdrew in 1991 leading the site to fall into disarray and was closed off to the public for over 200 years. A far cry from the thriving mixed use community you will find there today with over 700,000 sq ft of Grade A offices, new build residential, leisure and hospitality.
Over the past 4 years, Bristol-based developer Cubex Land, with its shareholders and funding partner, Palmer Capital, have rapidly transformed the site. Over 2000 local people have been employed on the scheme during the development phase and 2,000 permanent jobs have been created as a long term legacy. This development has injected a new lease of life to Bristol city centre attracting new occupiers, international investors and media attention that it has not seen for decades.
