Courtyard by Marriott at Keele University tops out

Courtyard by Marriott hotel at Keele University’s Science and Innovation Park in Staffordshire has marked the topping out today, Thursday 27th February.

Set to create 60 jobs, the 150-bedroom hotel will provide much needed accommodation to support the growing conference and events business of the university, as well as visitors to Keele University Science and Innovation Park.

Built by one of the largest and most successful privately owned construction and development groups in the UK, Bowmer + Kirkland, the hotel is due to open to customers in Autumn 2020.

Speaking on the build project, Neil Brook, Regional Director at Bowmer + Kirkland said: “We are delighted to have reached the topping out phase of the hotel on programme and look forward to the delivery of a first class hotel for our clients Mill Lane Estates, Marick Real Estate Ltd and Keele University in the coming months.”

Developed by Keele Hotel Developments, a joint venture between Marick Real Estate Ltd and Mill Lane Estates Ltd, the high-profile site will be operated by Tower Hotel Management under a franchise agreement with Marriott International.

Peter de la Perrelle, Managing Director of Tower Hotel Management said: “Despite recent adverse weather, the progress on the Courtyard by Marriott site at Keele University has remained on programme with Bowmer + Kirkland. We look forward to seeing the final phases come together as we move into the summer months.”
