A new Hilton Hotel in Hull city centre will create hundreds of jobs.
The 167-bedroom complex will be built on the former Lexington Avenue nightclub site in Ferensway.
At least 100 people are expected to be employed at the site but the Mail understands the final total could be nearer 200. The construction of the hotel will also create between 400 and 500 jobs.
Tony Howard, of Lexington Avenue Leisure Ltd, said: “We are committed to recruiting and employing local people.”
The developers believe the new Hilton will provide a huge economic boost for the city.
With Hull’s turn as UK City of Culture 2017 creeping ever closer, Lexington Avenue Leisure insists more hotel accommodation is vital.
Work on the four-star hotel is expected to begin in the coming months and completed by the end of 2016…..
