Tottenham get green light to continue building futuristic blade-like new hotel next to stadium

Tottenham Hotspur have received further approvals required to continue the construction of the 30-storey hotel that will stand alongside their stadium.

Spurs initially had plans for the hotel, as well as other buildings around their new ground, approved in 2016 as part of the major construction project. However, last year the club submitted new proposals to Haringey Council for the hotel at the south end of their stadium complex.

Those proposals brought design changes and another six storeys for the now 30-storey hotel, which will consist of 180 rooms with 49 residential apartments and 64 car park spaces. The new proposals ensured a more slim-line design to the building, giving it a blade-like appearance from the east and west.

In the plans for the new hotel, designed by F3 Architects, the council were told that "the overarching ambition for the hotel scheme remains to deliver a new landmark for Tottenham, drawing in more people and activity to the area, delivering on its central role within the regeneration aims of the NDP masterplan".

The application said the aim of the redesign is to "re-establish the building as a visual marker or 'Campinale' (Italian bell tower) for the stadium precinct". The building will contain a hotel restaurant, bar, café, swimming pool, gym and terrace.

With the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set to be one of the host venues for Euro 2028, the hotel is expected to be built in time to be used for that and is expected to be a popular base for those coming to watch the club's matches as well as concerts, NFL games and other events over the years ahead.

Haringey Council approved the new proposals in December last year and then in March this year London mayor Sadiq Khan's office confirmed that it had opted not to intervene, meaning preparatory work was able to proceed. In the weeks after, engineering specialist company Keltbray began making preparations for the building's foundations through piling work.

Then in late May, Spurs made a series of further amendment applications to Haringey Council in order for further building work to progress such as air quality, TV reception mitigation and non-road mobile machinery. The approval for those applications was given on Wednesday this week with a further application for the piling yet to be determined.

The club are expected to find out at an upcoming planning committee meeting whether they have got final approval from Haringey Council to hold up to 30 major non-football events at the stadium after submitting that proposal in April.
