O.I.E.O £2,000,000 - The Marlborough Hotel is an iconic Victorian hotel that sits in a prime position on Felixstowe seafront with breath taking views of the beautiful Suffolk coastline.

Full planning consent has been granted for the re-development of the existing site.

The current plans allow for conversion of the existing hotel into 17 new residential apartments, ground floor retail and restaurant space and a 14-bedroom boutique hotel. Additional planning has also been granted for a new build development of 9 residential apartments to the rear of the existing building. The site may lend itself to alternative planning subject to the necessary consents.
