Premier Inn is to create up to 60 full-time hotel jobs in Londonderry with the opening of a new venue in the Northern Irish city.

The hotel will cost around £6 million to build and will be located at Crescent Link in the Waterside, the BBC reports.

John Bates from Whitbread, Premier Inn's parent company, said the project was a "significant investment".

"We see a clear demand that isn't being met at the moment for high-quality accommodation at great value for families and business people," he added.

He went on to say that the hotel jobs will range from general manager positions to assistant manager jobs and hotel cleaner jobs.

The hotel will feature 60 bedrooms and Mr Bates said it should be open by 2013, when Derry takes on its year as the UK City of Culture.

Earlier this week, the Belfast Telegraph revealed that a number of new restaurant jobs had been created in Northern Ireland's capital city - Belfast.
