£6.5m Wirral hotel plans look on course to get green light

Artist's impression of how the Kings Gap hotel in Hoylake could look

Last year, businessman Simon Matthews-Williams told the Daily Post how he wants to spend £6.5m on a Holiday Inn and brand-name restaurant near the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, in Hoylake.

Mr Matthews-Williams said he wanted to develop the King’s Gap Court Hotel to serve golfers playing at the town’s Open Championship golf course, and for business and tourism visitors to Liverpool.

Hotels entrepreneur Matthews-Williams was in at the beginning of Liverpool’s renaissance when he opened the Crowne Plaza in 1997, later sold to Centre Island Hotels.

His 151-bed development in Chapel Street is due to open as Hotel Indigo in spring, 2011.

Wirral Council planning committee will decide tonight on the council officers’ recommendations to approve the scheme.
