A seven-story hotel is being planned for Kilkenny city.
Dublin-based firm Spark Way Limited plans to construct the high-rise hotel at MacDonagh Junction Shopping Centre.
The hotel is set to comprise of 99 ensuite bedrooms along with a restaurant, bar, gym, outdoor rooftop swimming pool, meeting rooms and a function room.
The exact location of the planned hotel will be an undeveloped area to the front of MacDonagh Junction Shopping Centre which is currently being used as a 45-space car park.
The site in question is currently owned by CIE, which had invited interested parties to tender for a hotel at the underutilized location as early as 2019.
However, plans for a hotel at the location have recently run aground when the proposed application submitted to Kilkenny County Council was deemed to have been incomplete.
Spark Way Limited is expected to resubmit the application with all relevant information in due course.
