Poets House Hotel, Ely

Grade II listed building transform into a wonderful boutique hotel.

This Grade II listed building overlooks Ely Cathedral and was once the offices of Sanctuary Housing. We successfully helped our client transform this into a wonderful boutique hotel.

Our brief was to accommodate as many en-suite bedroom suites as possible into the existing building, sitting alongside a catering kitchen, dining room and function room for weddings and parties. A “destination” bar was also envisaged, open to passing trade.

Services provided
  • Concept designs
  • Securing planning permission and listed building consent
  • Obtaining building regulations

Seen by many as an important building block in the development of Ely’s grand master plan, we are proud to have been part of this development and enjoy taking our clients to the bar area for business lunches.
