A Hilton Hotel for Weymouth

| LOOK AT LUXURY: An artist's impression of the Hilton Hotel in the centre of the block in the Pavilion peninsula development |
A LUXURY 140-bed four-star Hilton Hotel has been revealed as the centrepiece of the Weymouth Pavilion redevelopment.
Developer Howard Holdings today revealed that the giant Hilton Hotels group was its preferred operator for the seafront site.
Howard regional director Gary Charman said: "We are delighted with the progress we have made to date in agreeing outline terms with Hilton Hotels.
"This would represent a real coup for Weymouth and is a clear endorsement of the type of high quality occupiers that a scheme like this will be able to attract to the town.
"In addition to providing 120 local jobs and a major boost to the local economy, we see this hotel as the cornerstone of the development and a huge draw for other quality restaurant operators and retailers.
"It will be the first modern, purpose-built hotel to be built in Weymouth for decades and its waterside location means that it will offer spectacular views of the bay if the scheme goes ahead. We look forward to finalising the deal with Hilton in the weeks ahead."
Hilton was founded in 1919, is one of the world's leading hotel operators and has more than 3,000 luxury hotels.
If planning permission is granted, Howard said it was hoped to open the four-star luxury hotel in Weymouth in time for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Weymouth and Portland Borough Council said it welcomed the Hilton announcement. Special projects spokesman Coun Howard Legg said: "I am delighted at the prospect of welcoming the Hilton to Weymouth.
"This will be the first Hilton Hotel in Dorset and a quality international brand like this will bring with it international tourists which can only benefit the borough's economy."
Management committee chairman Coun Mike Goodman said: "I welcome such a prestigious company as Hilton Hotels to Weymouth.
"The importance of a prestige company like this isn't just the name but the world wide booking service that comes with it which will give us access to the international tourism market."
Howard Holdings is staging an exhibition of plans for the redevelopment of the Pavilion and ferry terminal site at the Mulberry Centre on Commercial Road, Weymouth.
Entry is free of charge and the exhibition is open to the public from until 5.30pm today, from 10am to 6pm tomorrow and from 10am to 6pm on Saturday.
Following the exhibition, Howard expects to submit a formal planning application for the site in August.
If it is successful then construction work is scheduled to start on site in early 2009 with completion due towards the end of 2011.

Just as long as they don't send wonky-faced oxygen-thief Paris for the opening ceremony, I'm all for this.

Why exactly shouldn't there be a Hilton in Weymouth?

Remember, not every Hilton is a five star, luxury hotel. Blackpool has one, why shouldn't Weymouth?
I work for one of Weymouth largest businesses and i'm embarrassed at the lack of decent hotel facilities the town has to offer our many business visitors - let alone tourists. Most are overpriced, badly run and of sub-standard quality - at least with a Hilton you know what you're going to get.

Hilton special deals this week £94.00/day - room only, in Portsmouth, to get the featured rates, you must book a minimum of 3 days in advance. Checking on the web, only one hotel in this area charges comparable rates but doesn't expect a minimum 3 day stay.

Weymouth needs a top-line hotel if it's to attract top-line visitors.
Hiltons need not be expensive these days - at Brett says - even Bracknell's got one. However, they do add to the location's reputation and this will be A GOOD THING.

The dreaded American oriented website decided that the name of a member of the donkey family is a swear word and so substituted 4 asterisks for a 3 letter word in my comment.

It is nice to see that the usual pointed parrot-like squawks from my fellow contributors have been reduced stifled pointless mumbles.
I would remind every body that HH has not yet had planning approval, nor have they made the final commitment to go for it. We are experiencing a house-building down turn and could be on the brink of a recession.
What is the saying about lips slips and cups? - something like not counting chickens...

The ball is in HH park. They have done well to gain the (provisional) commitment of Hilton hotels and that will add credibility to their proposals. We do need a 4 star hotel.
W&P BC has approved the principle and given a design brief that should allow HH to make a profit, i.e. to be viable.
All that is needed is Planning Approval and a continuing belief by HH that they can indeed make a profit.
Nobody has a crystal ball but with the market being as it is today, risks for both HH and the Borough are higher than even six months ago.

The rather small artist's impression looks like 6 storeys not the revised 8. The exhibition is only 3 days, perhaps to ensure not many people get to see it? I for one am too busy at this time. It looks like a standard concrete block - yes we need a prestige hotel but if it is a landmark building it really must be something better. But HH have us over a barrel....

I am so fed up with people saying that we are in need of decent accommodation - suggest you move away from the Esplanade and look at areas like Rodwell which has a few really good guesthouses offering wifi and everything else that the business traveller needs including free parking. If you really have trouble getting accommodation for work colleagues suggest you open your eyes. HH would be an asset to the town but this constant negativity about the current accommodation the town offers is uncalled for

Great - Weymouth badly needs a flagship hotel. I wonder just how many maritime and other events have,over the years, been denied this marvellous resort.
Now improve the access routes into South Dorset and the combination could have that deciding factor that would make Weymouth a GREAT resort.

If planning permission is granted, Howard said it was hoped to open the four-star luxury hotel in Weymouth in time for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Money Money Money .... get this right and it will pay back many times over .All those olympic hanger on's can hear the expense receipts being written as I type.
If they had a complete date after the events would it still go ahead ?

Comments above reflect the 'money' grabbing associated with the Olympics. Sadly true! - the top tier olympians are the real benefactors of this outragiously damaging event on our our environment (if we are to believe that each one of us is at fault for global warming!)
Forget the Olympics and take out of the equation the so called Weymouth relief road - WEYMOUTH needs a large hotel of national character to attract regular maritime events to use it's unique coastal natural resources. Comments above refer to 'accomodation' Weymouth needs lots and lots of that too - but to bring into Weymouth 'national' events you will generate both 'hotel' and 'accomodation' (B&B) capacity.

I went to look at the exhibition this morning and am very disappointed. The plan looks like a reject from the Costa del Sol and so overcrowded on such a small site that it must constitute overdevelopment. With all the drawings bar one taken from the sky, it is difficult to gauge how high the building are. I did notice that the eight stories have become eleven with the car park tier and the raising from sea level. It all looks like Torremelinos, not at all suitable for Georgian Weymouth.

Weymouth/Hanoi Hilton?
EEEEEEEEEEEk!
It looks just like HMP WEARE side on- the infamous Prison ship from New Orleans to Portland.
Howard Holdings must be laughing their heads off, full well knowing that the trusting gorgeous folk of Weymouth and Portland would kind of -- well sort of feel very comfortable looking at this very large replica of the prison ship. OUCH is the only word I could find useful to describe this huge dark shadow!

It goes with the lack of decent shops, general run down appearance of the town centre and the 24 hour drinking culture in full swing. Ah! What character to be proud of.

It has been quoted that to refurbish the Pavillion would cost £5,000,000, and to do the same to the pleasure pier would cost the same.
Dec. 2007 investment in Northern Rock £2.5m
Oct. 2007 investment in Coventry BS £3m & Shipton BS £3m, and in Dec. 2008 £2 in another building society. That should be enough to cover the cost and remove the hazzard of asbestos from the pleasure pier.

[bold]Oh dear[/bold] , this building , and the others, do not sit nicely considering the gorgeous position it will look out over.
It is far too heavy and dull looking--Please do not replicate [bold]HMP WEARE[/bold] .
You need a building that is [bold]light and airy looking[/bold] - more Mediterannean-- with long verandahs ground floor with shops and cafes, for visitors and residents to enjoy the views-- A glass clad reflective residential Modern Tower, lighthouse fashion at the far end-to catch the colours of the clouds and sea and sun. Use whites and creams and Italian style roof slates/tiles/ burnt umber- to create a cheerful modern effect- No heavy miserable materials please- red brick is not the right choice!
The building must look time -less-- what is wrong with Old Colonial? The Custom house on Poole quay is a good example of what I mean. Something relaxing on the eye- with a proper theme to it. The old theatre can be tarted up in the same fashion.
Please please think hard about the Jewel in the Crown that is designated for re developement- the present plans are definitely not easy on the eye.
Please use an [bold]aesthetic eye[/bold] before you make a monumental error!!
The new Hilton could set a very nice precedent by following the ideas I have just suggested.
