St James Quarter: W Hotel ribbon
The W Hotel is at the centre of the development. The hotel building has proved controversial for its ribbon design.
Shopping centre and hotel development which has replaced a 1960s shopping centre, hotel and government office complex. The former shopping centre closed in 2016 and the new one opened in June 2021.
The John Lewis store remained, traded throughout (when permitted) and was incorporated in to the overall design.
A W Hotel, Roomzzz Hotel and Everyman Cinema are due to open 2022.
