Road closure in place from January as hotel plans take shape
Demolition of the former Salvation Army Citadel in Douglas will get underway next month.
The site, in the heart of the capital, is to be transformed into a new 44-bed hotel.

The building itself has been vacant since 2017 after the Salvation Army moved to its new headquarters in Braddan.
On the protected buildings register, an appeal was lodged against the citadel's demolition but was unsuccessful.
In 2019 Douglas Council placed it on the dilapidated properties list.
