With miles of beautiful beaches, stunning coastline and fantastic heritage, the Channel Island of Jersey has always been a popular destination.
Designed by Tim Skudder Architects, this project is a sympathetic hotel development to transform a listed hotel into five-star destination – and with sustainability and community central to the design.
The developer is Trevellyan Developments, which bought Millbrook House Hotel in St Helier and is planning a £50m refurbishment project.
The goal is to provide much-needed tourist accommodation on the island, using sustainable building practices that are in line with the island’s commitment to being carbon neutral by 2030.
The plans are for 39 bedrooms, seven self-catering units and six eco-pods.
The hotel will also have a spa and wellness centre, a hothouse cookery school and restaurant, and good quality staff accommodation. The heritage gardens will also be restored.
The client was keen to use the RIBA 2030 targets as a basis for moving forward and invested in the design of a scheme that uses these targets as committed sustainability goals for the development.
This approach has been a significant part of the overall presentation to the local planning department, and it means that the development will achieve RIBA 2030 levels almost across the board.

Customer Insight
Amanda Burns, CEO, Visit Jersey:
"Currently, Jersey lacks dedicated eco-accommodation and has a shortage in self-catering options, which we continue to see a surge in demand for. This development adds to Jersey’s tourism offering, particularly as we inspire visitors to discover the island year-round."
