MDL Marinas has collaborated with Harbour Hotels to work out plans for a superyacht-inspired £25 million luxury hotel at Ocean Village Marina in Southampton.

The 4/5* hotel will include 70 bedrooms, spa, gym and swimming pool, along with a luxurious restaurant and champagne roof terrace. The ground floor is proposed to include a large open plan lounge, restaurant and bar which will extend out onto a terrace at the end of the existing promontory. Set to be a welcome addition to the city, the hotel will have a number of flexible function rooms and is set to be a popular attraction during the annual Southampton Boat Show, offering additional restaurants and luxurious facilities in a beautiful waterfront setting.
Adjacent to the hotel, MDL Marinas and Harbour Hotels are also looking to deliver a new retail and restaurant arcade at the front of the marina. Harbour Hotels also hopes to bring chef Alex Aitken to the site to deliver another high-end restaurant similar to the renowned Jetty restaurant at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel in Dorset.

Eamonn Feeney, Managing Director of MDL Marinas Group Plc, said: “We are very excited about this joint venture with Harbour Hotels, which will deliver our long-held aspiration for a high class hotel at Ocean Village. The development is being designed to complement the adjacent Allied Development scheme and the proposed residential units coupled with a mix of bars and restaurants will create a vibrant place to live, work and enjoy time by the water. Ultimately we see Ocean Village, with its high quality marina, becoming the new waterfront destination for Southampton and the new luxury facilities are set to be a welcome addition to berth holders and overnight visitors at the marina.”
Nick Roach, Chairman of Harbour Hotels said: “We are extremely pleased to be working with MDL Marinas on the Ocean Village hotel project. The development of a hotel on this site is a great fit for our portfolio and perfectly complements the existing marina. We have a lot to do, but are fully committed to deliver a landmark hotel, spa and dining destination for Southampton.”
