This also included plans to extend the roof of the original building and adding a single-storey extension."

Stanwell and Stanwell Moor councillor, Robert Evans, said: 'If the planning application is approved, the Stanwell Hotel will be relaunched as part of a well-known global chain.'"
"The Home Office has previously said it was committed to ending the use hotels for asylum seekers and is working towards alternative accommodation. Councillors have met with the hotel owners to discuss the plans and say the asylum seekers currently staying at the hotel are expected to move out shortly, subject to planning permission being approved."
The Stanwell Hotel in Staines-upon-Thames is set to undergo significant redevelopment to return it to community and commercial use. The £10 million scheme involves modernizing the building, increasing room capacity from 56 to 96, and adding extensions to serve business and leisure guests, particularly those using Heathrow Airport. The hotel, operated by Splendid Hospitality Group under the Mercure brand, will be relaunched as part of a well-known global chain. Asylum seekers currently residing at the hotel are expected to relocate following planning approval. Local councillors support the initiative, viewing it as beneficial for the community and the village economy. A public consultation on the proposals runs until March 25.
