Description
Hotel business Village Urban Resorts has announced that it will create 100 new jobs when it opens its new site in Bristol in November 2018. The new hotel will include 153 rooms, as well as a restaurant and bar area and a fitness suite. Although it has not been reported, it is assumed that the roles created will be across all of the different operations of the business. The hotel is being built next to the Horizon38 business park and it is hoped that the hotel will help to attract other businesses to the area, leading to higher levels of employment growth.
