Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the international arm of Aimbridge Hospitality, has been named as the management company responsible for running the Mercure Newport hotel in Wales.
Interstate has been signed by owners Garrison Barclay Estates to operate the new hotel in central Newport, set to open in the first quarter of 2022.
The 15-storey Mercure Newport hotel forms part of a multimillion-pound redevelopment of the Chartist Tower - the tallest building in the city.
More than 130 guest rooms are planned for the hotel, as well as a dedicated meeting floor, and extensive food and beverage facilities including a restaurant with an outside rooftop terrace area.
The wider development of the building will also see 30,000 sq ft of office space and 18,000 sq ft of retail space created.
