Metropolitan House will be turned into Boardwalk by developers Kans and Kandy.
Boardwalk will open at Metropolitan House on Collingwood Street and will feature a bar in the basement and on the ground floor.
The hotel will have 21 rooms spread across four floors while the fifth floor will be extended to create a "private terrace" with fire pits.The plans were lodged in May by Durham property firm Kans and Kandy.Boardwalk's exterior design will feature a brass laser-cut front door, brass window frames and glass-mounted, illuminated menu boards.
Plans showing the design of the front of the building show the words "hotel", "brasserie" and "terrace studios" on its windows. LED lights will be used to illuminate the front of the building on Collingwood Street, which is colloquially known as the Diamond Strip.These include a construction plan being approved by the council to "ensure there is no detrimental impact on the highway" during the development.
Plans had previously been put forward by High Street Group, the company behind Newcastle's Hadrian's Tower, to turn the building into the Metropolitan House Hotel.Follow BBC North East & Cumbria on
