Bligh House at the northern end of the Sydney CBD would be turned into a soaring 205m, 55 storey skyscraper with the proposal prepared by Architectus.

An affordable luxury & lifestyle hotel is expected by the design with a rating ranging from 4 to 5 stars.

Should the concept go ahead, Architectus may see some competition for the final design of the tower which is being slated as the Bligh Hotel Tower.

The site at 4-6 Bligh Street boarders Circular Quay which has a number of new developments planned including Quay Quarter Tower, The Circular Quay Tower & the Sydney Wanda One Tower.

According to the concept plans, the Bligh Hotel Tower is expected to have the following features:

• 37 levels of hotel, housing 11 rooms each floor making for a total of 407 hotel rooms.
• A 10 story podium featuring hotel entrance lobby, commercial lift lobby, food and beverage facilities, gym, commercial offices and meeting/conference rooms.
• Rooftop bar and publicly accessible landscaped terrace.
