Premier Inn
In Reading, a new 101-bedroom Premier Inn is set to open in the summer on Hosier Street with a restaurant and bar.
Planning permission was granted in March 5 2020 after councillors at Reading Borough Council heard views from both police and a lawyer for the hotel chain.
Premier Inn has been contacted for more details.
