Slough: Marriott to establish dual-branded hotels

Cycas Hospitality and Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) have agreed heads of terms for two new Marriott International hotels - Moxy and Residence Inn - to be located on the former central library site, on the A4 between the station and the town centre.

The dual-branded hotel development will be operated by Cycas Hospitality, the specialist extended-stay hotel management company. It will include a 144-room affordable boutique Moxy Hotel, and a 92-room extended-stay Residence Inn, both of which will be operated under a single lease, in the same building.

Andy Howell, general manager of SUR, said: “We are particularly excited to be bringing two internationally acclaimed brands to Slough in time for the opening of Crossrail in 2019. The delivery of The Curve by SUR has created a perfect site for these two hotels in a key location in the heart of Slough, with unrivalled access to Slough Station.”

Eduard Elias, Cycas Hospitality managing partner, said: “This is an exciting time to be investing in the heart of Slough. The town is undergoing a huge transformation and will after the opening of Crossrail become a real hub between Heathrow and Central London. The development will build on the success of our dual-branded hotels in London Stratford (Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites). 

SUR is a joint venture partnership between Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investments.
