OYO has opened its first 94-room hotel in the centre of Plymouth under the OYO brand in the UK.
OYO Plymouth Central is located on New George Street in the city's commercial centre, above the Poundland retail store and occupying 50,000 ft² over two storeys. Before being converted into a hotel this year, the building was used as office space; and for many years before that it was the open-plan stockroom for Plymouth's branch of Woolworths . The site was bought and developed into a three-star hotel by Red Lions Estate Ltd, which will operate the property in partnership with hotel brand OYO, with OYO providing services including revenue management, customer services, technology and brand.
