Costain JV nets hotel


by James Atkinson



A Costain/Skanska joint venture is negotiating a contract to undertake a £35 million refurbishment of the Great Western Royal Hotel in Paddington, London, according to industry sources.

Costain/Skanska has won the first stage of the contract and is now in negotiations over the second and final stage of the scheme to renovate the hotel on Praed Street at Paddington Station.

The renovation will take the form of a major refurbishment and extension.

The interiors of the existing hotel will be stripped back to the structural shell and parts of the building will undergo structural alterations. The building will then be completely refitted including upgraded mechanical and electrical works.

Glazed curtain walling will be added to six floors and stonework will be cleaned and restored.
