There are plenty of exciting things arriving in Gloucester, some are clear to see as you walk through that City, and others have only just been announced…
Hotel Indigo, next stop Gloucester …
Gloucester City Council has recently signed the contract with IHG Hotels & Resorts, as Anchor Tenants for a stunning new hotel in The Forum, Gloucester’s £107m development. Hotel Indigo is Gloucester’s first acquisition of an international, upscale hotel brand.
The hotel will offer 131 bedrooms, with spa themed en-suites, an exquisite roof-top cocktail bar, and conference and event facilities.
As a brand, world-wide chain Hotel Indigo firmly embed themselves in their chosen destinations, celebrating works from local artists, using the finest locally sourced ingredients, and hosting events in partnership with local people and businesses. Visitors to the hotel will get a taste of Gloucester, without even leaving the hotel!
Food Dock Gloucester
If you live in Gloucester or have visited the city recently and walked around the docks, it is likely you will have spotted some development works going on. Food Dock Gloucester is coming soon, and we can’t wait!
Combining a mix of the old and new, modern, modular spaces have been built into one of Gloucester’s iconic and historic waterfront buildings, perfectly positioned between the docks and Commercial Road.
This stunning space will house up to 15 food and drink businesses, with flexible lease arrangements, perfect for new start-ups. Offering a mixture of bars, cafes, international cuisine, and delis, with a strong focus on locally sourced and regional food and ingredients, it is set to be a foodie’s paradise.
No opening date has been announced as yet, but rest assured, as soon as we know, you’ll know.
University Campus
Set to open in September 2023, the University of Gloucester will see Phase 1 of its latest addition, extending its campus, right in the heart of the city.
The 1930s Art Deco building, which formerly housed Debenhams, is being transformed into a centre for teaching, learning, community partnerships and accomodation, providing a major boost to both regeneration and post-Covid recovery.
Part of the University's Mission is to support the growth and development of Gloucester's community, economically, socially and culturally. By transforming this much loved and iconic building into a hub for learning, will contribute towards creating a better future for the community of Gloucester.
The plans sit within the multi-million pound regeneration of Kings Square and The Forum, actively invested in by Gloucester City Council and Reef Group, providing an attractive destination for companies to relocate, reviving the city centre, and in turn creating up to a thousand new jobs.
