Aparthotel development at Oxford cinema given go-ahead

5 July 2023

Proposals to transform an Oxford cinema into an aparthotel and community hub have been given the go-ahead by local councillors. Cinema operator Odeon's lease at the property at 38-40 George Street is set to expire in September 2024. Oxford City Council has been carrying out a procurement exercise since September 2022 to determine the best use for the site. The £37m development will see the property demolished and redeveloped, with the ground floor being used as a community space and the upper five floors converted into a long-stay hotel.
