Minories Hotel

Description

The building has created a new contemporary focus and identity for The Minories that will act as a benchmark for future neighbouring developments. The design is entirely contemporary yet also fully responsive to its current and known future context. A high standard of sustainability is aimed at for all aspects of the development to reduce the environmental impact and to support sustainable working.
