Jersey Millbrook hotel renovation to create 40 jobs

The proposed £14m redevelopment of the Millbrook House Hotel

More than 40 new jobs will be created in Jersey if a proposed new "art hotel" is given planning approval.

The new owners of the former Millbrook House Hotel, CCA Galleries, have put forward a £14m redevelopment of the site.

A spa, cookery school, restaurant, self-catering cottages and eco-pods are also planned.

Local artists will have their work featured in the hotel and grounds and some will be asked to design rooms.

The main villa is a listed building and needs urgent repairs

Owner of CCA Galleries, Lance Trevellyan, thinks Jersey will benefit from changes to the way people travel post-pandemic, adding: "You have to look forward to the future.

"Jersey's ideally suited in my mind because I believe people are not going to be so inclined - certainly for the next five years - to travel too far from home and its proximity to the mainland, I think is ideal."

Local residents are being asked for their views on the new vision for the hotel, which has been closed for the past three years.
