Lincoln DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in line for major extension

Expansion plans: A major expansion plan for extra rooms, parking and function spaces has been lodged for the Doubletree by Hilton hotel.

Plans to extend the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel on Lincoln Brayford with 39 additional rooms and 35 new car parking spaces will go before councillors on the city’s planning committee.

Expansion plans would bring the total number of rooms at the hotel to 154.

Proposals indicate that the former NHS Healthcare Services building on Newland (to the rear of the hotel) would be demolished to accommodate access to the extension.

The project designs, produced alongside Core Architects and Globe Consultants, set out an increase in both accommodation space and extra conference and function facilities.
