A five-storey office block close to London’s Trafalgar Square is to be converted into a 136-room hotel with restaurant and rooftop bar. 7-8 Martins Place in Charing Cross will be known as St Martins Place Hotel and will also house a retail offering in the basement and ground-floor levels as well as retaining an existing Post Office.
