Lafrance Hospitality is looking to build a brand new hotel in downtown New Bedford.

The proposed hotel would be located off of Pearl Street at the current site of a tire recycling facility. Lafrance Hospitality’s proposal calls for an “architecturally appealing five-story building and comprehensive landscaping design,” according to the city.

“We are thrilled at the prospect of expanding our presence in New Bedford,” Lafrance Hospitality Chairman Richard Lafrance said. “This project is not just about building a hotel; it’s about contributing to the city and supporting local businesses. We believe this development will be a valuable addition to New Bedford.”
