Look behind the scenes of the Telegraph Hotel

Discover an exclusive opportunity to explore the fascinating transformation of one of Coventry’s most recognisable structures. This special event delves into the building’s journey from a bustling newspaper headquarters into a stylish and contemporary hotel. Attendees will gain insight into the meticulous restoration process, the craftsmanship involved, and the vision that preserved original design features while introducing a fresh, urban aesthetic. Led by one of the project’s key developers, the experience will highlight hidden elements, rarely seen areas, and untold stories behind the evolution of this historic site. You’ll hear how materials were repurposed, challenges navigated, and how a sense of heritage was carefully woven into every space—from bespoke interiors to the structural enhancements required to modernise the facility. Guests will also learn about the influence of 1950s design principles, sustainable methods implemented throughout the rebuild, and the creative thinking that honoured its cultural past while preparing it for a new era. This immersive event is perfect for enthusiasts of urban renewal, heritage conservation, and those curious about how places with deep local significance are thoughtfully reimagined. Spaces are limited, making this a rare chance to gain deeper understanding of an iconic redevelopment story in the heart of the city.
