One of Jersey’s most iconic harbour buildings, dating back to the 18th Century, will undergo development.
La Folie Inn, on the harbour, is due to undergo a transformation.
The site - which dates back to the 18th Century - has been closed since 2004 and was damaged further by Storm Ciarán.
Ports of Jersey is now looking for a development partner to help breathe new life into the building.
They are starting the search today (29 July) and want partners to look at restoring the listed buildings as part of a hotel development.
Early insights suggest the site could accommodate a hotel, with the potential for around 125-150 guest rooms, depending on planning and design.
The site includes the former pub, which is a listed structure, and the surrounding land.
Head of Ports Real Estate Marc Clayson says islanders will be able to have their say:
“Any formal proposals will go through public planning, and this is just the first step.
