The revised plans for the £25m project are for a seven-storey hotel with 122 bedrooms on a site opposite the city’s Connexin Live arena.
The ground floor would include a bar and food area, a gym and a relaxation space, and business centre.
Wykeland has already gained planning permission for a hotel on the site from to Hull City Council, but has submitted revised plans tailored to suit the Moxy brand’s specific requirements.
Jonathan Stubbs, development director of Hull-based Wykeland, said: “The hotel’s location, on the doorstep of the Connexin Live arena and close to Hull’s city centre, marina, Fruit Market and Old Town, make it the perfect location for both leisure and business visitors.”
He added: “These revised plans ensure the building reflects the stylish Moxy brand. Approval of the planning application will pave the way for the development of a high-quality new hotel that the business community, the tourism and hospitality sectors, and visitors to Hull have been crying out for.”
The hotel would be owned by Wykeland and operated by Legacy Hotel Management Services, which manages more than 25 hotels across the UK.
Moxy has hotels in 130 locations in more than 25 countries, with each property designed to a theme reflecting the host city. In the UK, Moxy has hotels in cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast.
Molly Turpie, senior manager, international hotel development, for Marriott International Hotels, said: “We’re excited at the prospect of creating a hotel that reflects the spirit of the city while delivering the high standards and global reach of Marriott International.
“At Moxy, we believe hotels should be more than just a place to sleep; they should be social hubs, full of energy, creativity and personality. From check-in at the bar to buzzing communal spaces, the brand is all about creating memorable experiences at an accessible price point.
“Hull’s independent spirit and cultural vibrancy make it a natural fit for Moxy, and we’re excited at the prospect of bringing something fresh, playful and distinctive to the city’s hospitality scene.”
