Council agrees to make deal with hotel chain

Dundee City Council has agreed to make a deal with Marriott Hotels to open a 150-bedroom establishment at the city’s new waterfront.

At a development committee meeting, councillors agreed on a letter of intent with the chain to operate an upscale hotel on a site opposite the V&A.

In addition, the council will enter into an agreement with Marriott Hotels to provide advisory services for the design of the hotel.

The development is expected to create around 120 roles plus an additional 260 construction jobs.
