Barrow’s Majestic Hotel primed for overhaul
Summary
Ashall Projects has applied for planning permission to refurbish and upgrade the vacant, grade II-listed Majestic Hotel in Barrow. The scheme includes window repairs, internal refurbishment and some kitchenette provision, with IHG expected to operate the building under its Garner brand if approved.
Why it matters
The proposal involves a listed building and a change in operational use, both of which are relevant to surveyors assessing heritage constraints, building condition and refurbishment scope. It also sits within wider regeneration activity in Barrow, which may influence local property demand and development activity.
Key points
- Planning permission has been sought for refurbishment of the 41-room hotel.
- The building is grade II-listed and has been vacant for around two years.
- Works are intended to address window repairs and internal refurbishment.
- IHG is lined up to operate the asset under its Garner banner.
- The project forms part of wider regeneration in Barrow.
