Custom House Hotel Sees New Scheme Proposed

Custom House Hotel has a new opportunity for revitalisation with a heritage-led new design by ORMS

It’s great to see the CEMP Real PM produced supporting the planning application to convert the Grade I-listed Custom House British heritage site into a 179-bed hotel as featured recently in Architects’ Journal.

The currently empty building is beaitful and understandfully requires protection, but we’re excited that our work will move the space towards occupation so that the public can truly appreciate the potential that the building has to offer, both as a site of heritage but also future use as opposed to it being vacant.

Whilst the ORMS plans see a primarly private use as a 179 room hotel, there will still be areas in which the public, not hotel users, will be encourage to visit, including a new public ground-floor route through the former King’s Warehouse which ‘will be brought to life by dynamic historic displays, a series of galleries’ and an exhibition space says ORMS. Meanwhile a historical library is also planned for within the former Tide Waiter’s Room.
