A budget hotel, with 495 "windowless" rooms between 12m2 and 17m2, is the latest plan for The Trocadero overlooking Picadilly Circus, London, according to Building Design. The first three floors will be kept for "retail and leisure" - not clear what might replace Planet Hollywood.












Architects Dexter Moren have made something of a speciality of mid-price hotels around London - the nicest exterior being provided for the new Novotel at Paddington. The facade of the Trocadero, however, will be retained. It's likely that flats with get the windows on the upper floors.
