University hotel and conference centre goes on sale
SavillsA hotel and conference centre in Leicester has gone up for sale after a university announced it would be closing the building.
The University of Leicester announced in April it would be shutting College Court in Knighton, saying it had "reviewed all options carefully" regarding the future of the building.
It concluded the former halls of residence were "no longer viable" to keep open in the "current financial climate."
No information was given at the time over what the future of the site would be, with the university ceasing to take customer bookings for it in mid-April, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.
Estate agents Savills is in charge of the sale of the Grade II listed conference centre and hotel.
According to the LDRS, the complex consists of five detached buildings, which contain a total of 123 en-suite bedrooms, as well as a conference centre and a reception building.
