McAleer & Rushe has landed a £26m Design and Build contract with Urban&Civic to build Europe’s largest Hampton by Hilton at Stansted Airport.
Urban&Civic secured planning permission to build a new £45m 357-bed hotel with direct terminal access to London Stansted Airport, following a deal to acquire a two acre site from MAG Property, the property and development division of Manchester Airports Group (MAG) – the owners of Stansted Airport.
The stylish scheme is eight stories tall and will be serviced by three lifts. Located on Bassingbourn Road, it is set to open in Summer 2017.
Contracts Director Peter Devlin said: “McAleer & Rushe has established itself as the ‘go-to’ contractor for airport hotels because of our ability to provide design-led solutions for challenging locations. We look forward to building a long term relationship with Urban&Civic and are very pleased to continue our on-going partnership with Hilton”.
McAleer & Rushe is the leading UK Design and Build Contractor for the brand. McAleer & Rushe also built the Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport at Longbridge House by the North Terminal, the Hampton by Hilton Waterloo and also its Bournemouth hotel.
The Stansted hotel forms part of MAG’s £260m investment plan to attract more passengers, airlines and long-haul services to Stansted, the fastest growing airport in the UK.
Offering travellers high quality amenities, including complimentary Wi-Fi and hot breakfast, Hampton by Hilton – Europe’s fastest growing hotel brand. Hampton by Hilton has a total of 16 hotels currently operating in the UK & Ireland with a further 17 under development.
Hampton by Hilton Stansted Airport is set to become Hilton Worldwide’s largest Hampton by Hilton in Europe, surpassing Hampton by Hilton Warsaw City Centre which opened in 2014.
