The six storey 95 bedroom hotel and office development was recommended for approval by planning with the full support of English Heritage, who considered that the new building would have a positive and beneficial impact on the character and appearance of the central conservation area.

This is the third hotel designed by Clash Associates for Sleeperz, a new and independent hotel company focussed on reinventions of the traditional railway station hotel. The hotel will bring diversity and interest to the area, with its associated mixed use development contributing to the character of the street and the existing station buildings. Construction is expected to commence during 2009.

Sleeperz Newcastle will occupy a prominent triangular site on Westgate Street, replacing an existing derelict parcels office. Clash Associates' design for Sleeperz Newcastle refers to the former building through the proposed use of timber in its construction, its scale and respect for the context of the streetscene. The site is on the edge of the busy central area known for its business and commercial use and active nightlife.

Peter Clash, Director of Clash Associates and designer of the Newcastle scheme, said: "We are delighted that detailed planning and conservation area consent has now been granted. We believe the Sleeperz project will add life and activity to the street, linking the central area to the revitalised quayside."



Sleeperz Hotels

Sleeperz is developing a number of schemes in conjunction with Clash Architects for hotels at mainline station locations. Sleeperz Hotel in Cardiff is scheduled to open in November 2008, and the new Sleeperz at Manchester Piccadilly will shortly go on site. Clash Associates is currently preparing a detailed planning submission for a new 172 bedroom Sleeperz hotel at Birmingham New Street Station.
