The 180-room hotel will be six storeys taller than when it was originally approved eight years ago, reports Grace Howarth, Local Democracy Reporter

Construction of Tottenham Hotspur’s major 29-storey hotel is scheduled to be completed by June 2028, the club has confirmed.

Spurs this week confirmed that work on the 180-room hotel had now begun, and says it hopes construction will be completed before the start of the UEFA European Football Championship, for which Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a host venue.

The international football tournament is set to take place between 9th June and 9th July 2028.

Plans for the hotel, which also include 49 residential flats and 69 car parking spaces, were originally approved in 2016 at the same time as the stadium itself was approved. However, last year permission was granted to increase the height of the scheme from the original 23 storeys up to 29. 

A Spurs spokesperson said: “Plans for the development of a new hotel at the south of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium campus were resubmitted to Haringey Council to amend the layout and design of the building. 

“This was, in part, to improve its appearance and create a more refined and slender design, as well as to comply with the latest building safety regulations.”

Thousands of jobs are set to be created on the hotel project and the club’s other major redevelopment schemes, in the vicinity of the stadium, which include hundreds of residential homes and student flats.

In an economic impact report produced by the football club and Ernst and Young in December 2023, the club said that in its “tri-borough area”, it expects to be supporting 4,300 full-time jobs by the 2026/27 season.

Although not able to confirm how many jobs would be created by the hotel project itself, the club states that “at least 20% of the FTE [full-time equivalent] jobs created by the hotel build will be for local people”.

Local concerns have been raised over the level of disruption in and around the stadium caused by the hotel’s construction, but the club has now said that no roads would be closed or disrupted as a consequence of the building work and that fans attending games would not be affected.
