A PROPOSED nine-storey hotel on the corner of Barrack and Wellington streets got the thumbs-up from Perth’s planning committee on Tuesday night.

The committee decided the 77-room hotel, which will cost $15 million, made better use of the space by extending further into the laneway behind it.

The new hotel will retain the facade of the two-storey, 100 year-old Stocklands building currently occupying that site.
