Andras House to build five hotels

Andras House has announced plans to build five new hotels in the North in a €73.67 million (£50m) investment programme, creating 200 jobs.

All the new hotels will be operated by the company under the IBIS brand, which is new to Northern Ireland.

The expansion programme will mean around 500 new bedrooms in the North.

Work on the first hotel, in King St, Belfast, will start within the next few weeks.
