£25m Ocean Village hotel development
This is how the artist sees the development…
DEVELOPMENT: MDL Marinas has teamed up with Harbour Hotels to propose plans for a superyacht inspired £25m luxury hotel at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton.
The 4/5* hotel will include 70 bedrooms, spa, gym and swimming pool, along with a luxurious restaurant and champagne roof terrace. The ground floor is proposed to include a large open plan lounge, restaurant and bar which will extend out onto a terrace at the end of the existing promontory.
Set to be a welcome addition to the city, the hotel will have a number of flexible function rooms and is set to be a popular attraction during the Southampton Boat Show, offering additional restaurants and luxurious facilities in a beautiful waterfront setting.
Adjacent to the hotel, MDL Marinas and Harbour Hotels are also looking to deliver a new retail and restaurant arcade at the front of the marina. Harbour Hotels also hopes to bring chef Alex Aitken to the site to deliver another high end restaurant similar to the renowned Jetty restaurant at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel in Dorset.
"This joint venture with Harbour Hotels will deliver our long held aspiration for a high class hotel at Ocean Village. The development is being designed to complement the adjacent Allied Development scheme and the proposed residential units coupled with a mix of bars and restaurants will create a vibrant place to live, work and enjoy time by the water,” said MDL MD Eamonn Feeney. “Ultimately we see Ocean Village, with its high quality marina, becoming the new waterfront destination for Southampton and the new luxury facilities are set to be a welcome addition to berth holders and overnight visitors at the marina.”
