30 Room Hotel Proposed On Burnaby Street
A planning application has been submitted to create a 30 room hotel on Burnaby Street in the City of Hamilton.
The planning application stated said, “Proposed Change of Use and Redevelopment of 26 Burnaby Street from Office [Business – Class 4] to 30‑Room Hotel [Tourism – Class 7], including additions to the existing 5‑storey building, resulting in a 7‑storey development [5 storeys visible] with a total height of approximately 72 feet.”
The planning application noted that the two-story below-grade will include areas including the staff room, laundry/storage room, back-of-house office, and staff bathrooms, while the street/ground level will be the lobby area, which will also host an art exhibition/gallery featuring works by Bermudian artists, and the top floor is planned as an accessible roof offering views over Front Street and Hamilton Harbor.
“The proposal contributes to the vitality of the city by increasing activity and foot traffic in Hamilton through new tourism uses and by bringing an existing vacant building back into productive economic use, all of which are key objectives of the City of Hamilton Plan 2025.” it said.
