Bingo Hall Transforms into Hotel in Newark

0:00On April 9th, Newark and Sherwood District Council just greenly plans to transform an old bingo hall in the town center into a 42-bed hotel. The spots on the top floor of the Castlegate Center, breathing new life into a space that's been sitting idle, developer, Castlegate Newark is behind the project, adding a fresh entrance right off Lombard Street on the ground floor, though build a new staircase and lift straight up to the reception and guest rooms. This used to be Perry's bingo hall, a classic local hangout that's now getting an upgrade to draw more visitors to Newark's bustling core. It's the kind of move that could spark some economic buzz without overhauling the whole area. Details show a mezzanine level popping up in the main space for 12 extra rooms, keeping things efficient. No full dining set up plan, so it'll focus on simple stays. With approvals locked in, expect construction to roll soon, turning that echoey bingo vibe into cozy hotel nights for travelers hitting Newark.
