It will be the first Bournemouth hotel in Mr Roach's Nici Hotels group.

A spokesperson for the group said: "With its unique clifftop location, offering extraordinary sea views and access down to Bournemouth’s award-winning sandy beaches, Nici Hotels is transforming a wonderful landmark building into a new destination resort – phase one of the redevelopment will include 70 bedrooms, a vibrant bar and restaurant, as well as outdoor terraces, landscaped gardens and feature pool."

The design is said to be inspired by Miami’s South Beach lifestyle.
