Legendre UK has been appointed by Whitbread as main contractor for the redevelopment of Phoenix House in Vauxhall, London. The ten-storey, 80,000ft² former office building will be converted into a 180-bedroom Premier Inn hotel, bringing the brand to Vauxhall for the first time. The project will retain the building's existing structure, with former office floorplates replaced by Premier Inn bedrooms including the Premier Plus range, and the mezzanine upgraded to feature a new guest restaurant and reception. Whitbread said the conversion targets BREEAM Excellent certification and is expected to create around 25 permanent hospitality jobs. Construction is due to start later this year, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027, under a 30-year lease held by Whitbread while Lambeth Council retains the head lease.
